Global Nominee

Disaster Hunter

High-Level Project Summary

Visually depicting data often makes it easier to understand and draw insights. The visualization tool we have come up with is "Disaster Hunter", which can be used to classify the number and the intensity of Tsunamis that occur due to earthquakes on the ocean bed. To make the finding of insights in data more effective, we want to figure out the area's population density, which will help us figure out the impact on lives when there is a tsunami in the region. Understanding the changes and interactions is critical to scientific efforts to address important environmental issues and industry efforts to build new and innovative tools.

Detailed Project Description

The Disaster Hunter API helps us estimate the amount of destruction it can cause to livelihood in the coastal areas prone to tsunamis. It helps people to understand their location and how prone they are to an earthquake or tsunami. The API will also show us the water currents which in turn will help the fishermen to understand the water bodies.

WORKING ON DISASTER HUNTER

To the existing earthquake dataset from USGS Earthquake Catalog, we will be adding additional features such as water currents, continent boundaries, tectonic plates, population density, and earthquake points and their range of impact.

By performing an analysis on the modified dataset, we will be able to find out the location of the earthquake on the waterbed and estimate the intensity and impact location of the tsunami. To represent the impact of the Tsunami, we have used triangles as shown in the picture below. Red Triangle for high impact and yellow for low impact.

Coding languages: HTML, JavaScript, CSS

IDE: Visual Studio

Space Agency Data

We used the dataset containing earthquake locations and their intensity from https://earthquake.usgs.gov/fdsnws/event/1/query?format=geojson. The data set belongs to the United States Geographical Survey (USGS).

Hackathon Journey

Being first-timers at the Hackathon, we started it full of doubts. We were curious to see how far our capabilities can take us. Choosing the challenge was a fundamental part of our journey, and we chose “Earth Data Analysis Developers Wanted”.

While researching, we figured out that we had to fetch good data sets to plot the points of tsunamis and calculate the threat. Working on our problem statement was challenging as we had to find and understand the information that is now what we present as a solution to the problem.
