| Geospatial applications are all about working with data. What datasets | ||

| already stored in a way that you can use, how will you be storing your data? | ||
|
|
||
| **We'll be using datasets that we have compiled ourselves, though they are sourced from multiple locations: property valuation data and open data. Our dataset merges these data sources with our predictive data.** | ||

| **As for storage, we were going to attempt to use Github to do so, as that's what we've used in previous class examples. However, if this proves to be insufficient, we will need to look at alternatives.** |

GH will probably be sufficient to your needs. If it gives you any trouble, let me know

| **Our main user is Chief Williams of the city of Louisville, though others in the city could also use this. Our intent is that he will use the site to see where we have predicted fires, and where he can identify locations to help to m mitigate them. He'll be able to click grid cells to see data about that area's risk and information - how many people live there, how many fires there have been in the past, and how high we think its risk is. He can also click some tabs on the side to see the community resource areas, at which he can host outreach efforts for the most impact. We're taking a visual cue from this example from last year, which is similar to our project: ** | |||

Nice. The sluggishness caused by the size of the hex grid in this application will likely be mitigated by your use of mapbox
