AM I SAFE?

THE CHALLENGE: Earth Live
Earth

Develop a web tool, mobile device app or add-on for existing apps or websites that leverages NASA imagery and climate data to illustrate the impacts of our changing Earth in areas of interest to you. Some ideas to explore include:

  • Use NASA Earth observations data, social media, smart phones, and Short Message Service (SMS) text phones to collect Earth observations and connect public in local, regional, and national networks to communicate about our changing planet.
  • Examine current natural events curated by NASA’s EONET (Earth Observatory Natural Event Tracker) by browsing global historical and near real-time imagery from space.
  • Upload images or other data points demonstrating visible observations and how they compare to satellite data. For example, generating early-warning alerts or validating precipitation rates reported from NASA’s Global Precipitation Measurement Mission.
  • Integrate NASA imagery with a mobile assistant to allow for dynamic image generation based on a basic request structure.
Explanation

Using MAPS and Imagery from GIBS and APOD we make possible to identify if you are safe. Are there any fires near you? How far are the nearest ones. Are you safe where you are? Are your friends safe? We give an answer to all this questions by giving you the possibility to see the fires near you. We also took care of getting the best photo of each day from captured and saved in the APOD nasa api and serve it to the people for sharing. You can also see all events like storms, earthquakes etc, from the satellite images.
