What the Judges are Saying
As someone who has experienced forest fires firsthand, I think this app could be very helpful. I like the community pages and the mapping feature. In disasters like forest fires, getting safety information out to people can save lives!
My one suggestion would be to focus the maps page more on forest firest near your current location and to add information about air quality hazards and potential resources. I think those two other maps could be more useful than a map of trees and the ozone map.
Great work overall!
