🚀 Wildfire – Real-Time Wildfire & Firepoint Monitoring System

Wildfire is a real-time wildfire detection and monitoring system that visualizes live firepoints, wildfire events, confidence levels, and alerts directly in the browser. It uses NASA FIRMS, NASA EONET, and an interactive map interface to provide accurate and up-to-date wildfire information.

⚙️ Installation

1️⃣ Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/manalmulla/wildfire.git
cd wildfire

2️⃣ Create & activate a virtual environment

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate   # Mac/Linux
venv\Scripts\activate      # Windows

3️⃣ Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

---

🔑 Add Your NASA API Key

Open config.py and update:

NASA_API_KEY = "YOUR_NASA_MAPS_KEY"
NASA_FIRMS_CSV_URL = "YOUR_FIRMS_CSV_URL"
CONFIDENCE_HIGH = 60

---

▶️ Running the App

python app.py

Then open in your browser:

http://127.0.0.1:5000/

---

🎨 Confidence Color Logic

if (confidence < 30) {
    color = "green";   // Low confidence
} else if (confidence < 60) {
    color = "orange";  // Medium confidence
} else {
    color = "red";     // High confidence
}

Ensures all three color levels are visible.

---

🔔 Browser Alert System

The webpage includes a button like:

Enable Alerts

When a user clicks:

• System checks current wildfire data
• If a nearby event is found, user receives: On-screen notification

All inside the web browser.
