AquaRisk

Identifies the user's location within a radius. High-risk areas are found based on factors like rip-ride, tide level, current, storm surge, ect. These factors are determined by data from CO-OPs API.

Inspiration

We were inspired to make this project because of this year's theme. What better way to stay nautical than to analyze our oceans?

What it does

The project essentially uses the GEOCODE API to access station data. This is then used to understand the ocean data of high-risk areas using CO-OP'S API

How we built it

We built it using Javascript for the back end. On this front, we used the GEOCODE's API to get the data from a city that the user inputs, including its longitude and longitude. Using this data, we would compare it to the longitude and latitude of the actual station, and make sure it is the closest to the city. Using this station, we would get data on the water levels of the region using the COOPS-API to get information on flood risk and high tide.
