WaveDefense 🌊 — Flood Safety Website
Inspiration
Floods are one of the deadliest natural disasters in the world. I wanted to build something that could actually help people know what to do before, during, and after a flood.
What it does
WaveDefense is a flood safety website that guides people on what to do before, during, and after a flood. It includes:
- Step-by-step safety tips for all 3 flood phases.
- An emergency kit checklist.
- Google Maps integration to locate any area quickly.
How we built it
I built it with HTML and CSS from scratch. Tool used
- HTML : page structure and content
- CSS : colors, layout, and design
- JavaScript :interactive tabs, report form, and map integration

- Google Fonts : Bebas Neue and DM Sans typography
Challenges we ran into

Accomplishments that we're proud of
I am most proud of the fact that this was built completely from scratch. Some of the feature I am especially proud of are: The design Emergency kit list Google maps integration, where people type any city or location and it opens it in google maps.
