Ceres is a web application dedicated to promoting and bringing awareness to the Austrailian bushfires. The web application includes daily map visualization and statistics of the bushfires, monthly news letters, and live twitter feed.
It started out as a freshman design project by Hung Do, Joey Huang, EJ Roberts, and Ao Wang and has been in development since early January 2020.

Cloning the repo:
git clone git@github.com:ow-wow-wang/ceres.gitUse the package manager pip to download Python libraries:
pip install -r requirements.txtCeres web scraps bushfire data from NASA's sensors, cleans the false positives' data and plots them onto the map. There's also a statistics portion where Ceres counts the fires for each of Australia's regions and measures the distribution of Fire Radiative Power (FRP). This process occurs twice a day.
Additionally, Ceres has a charity page to many, reputable charities trying to fight the fire and support Australia's people and wildlife.
But one of Ceres' goals is also to maintain the awareness of the bushfires, which is why we added a News Feed and Twitter Feed, gathering links using Python's News and Twitter API. The new news articles are shown every month and continually updating Twitter Feed.
