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 Maps : location search feature
  • VS Code : code editor
  • Google Fonts : Bebas Neue and DM Sans typography

Challenges we ran into

  • Fixing JavaScript bugs in the report submission feature.
  • Making the design look clean and professional.
  • Planning the theme and colors.

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.

What we learned

  • How to integrate Google Maps into a webpage.
  • How to design a clean, user-friendly layout with a proper color theme.
