To analyze and present the history and impact of Australian Bushfires through a web app. Bushfires in Australia are a widespread and regular occurrence that have contributed significantly to moulding the nature of the continent over millions of years. Bushfires have killed approximately 800 people in Australia since 1851, and billions of animals. The purpose of this project is to dig deeper into the roots of current and historical bushfires in Australia and present the findings and analysis results in the form of a web based Flask app with routes for - Australian bushfire locations, global bushfire locations, current and historical fire counts, impact caused by bushfires and climate’s role in causing the bushfires, home and about page.
