High-Level Project Summary
The AVATAR projects aims to prevent the possible damage from nature disastres especially Sunami, floods, forest burning and earthquakes. Using the resources from earthdata.nasa.gov and some additional sources we will set special machines on specific places of the land and these machines are gonna look for factors that leads to one or another disaster and alert people of the region to get to some safe place. Besides all accidents that happened are gonna be automatically recorded in our website for later studies and will be used as informative resource for all who are interested, for example scientists and students who study geography or geology.

Detailed Project Description
The project AVATAR is going to cooperate with Special Emergency Committee (SEC)and Call Centers of the country, so that in emergent moments SEC could get notification to come in case of any damage and through Call Centers people of special region shall get messages of possible disaster. Here our website has the live stream of current condition of regions where our machine was set. Shortly saying the machines are gonna be the alert machine to aware people to get away from epicenter of damage and the website is gonna record all accident that happened, in data format, as informative platform for later times. So we have simple citizens being rescued from disasters and interested people to study the factors and use it for any good it can bring
Space Agency Data
There was one main source that we used in this project and it is earthdata.nasa.org which gave us enough data to complete it for now. We mostly got information about landscape and its condition which included Erosion/Sedimentation Geomorphic Landforms/Processes that help us to set the machine with all necessary information.
Hackathon Journey
The journey in this Hackathon was pretty hard, our team got exhausted from filling and working on our project but we believe that the hardwork costs the result of our project because it is going to be pretty crucial not only for Tajikistan but for the whole world. We made a great teamwork by dividing the responsibilities, one of us worked on finding data from nasa data, another was filling the application and descriptive part of the project and the third one was creating the website itself. The sessions and instructions were pretty much clear thats why we didnt even approach the mentors for additional help, we moved on all by ourselves. We are grateful that we had opportunity to participate in such tremendious event with other professional coders and programmers and were fortunate to get to learn a lot from NASA data resources
