High-Level Project Summary
Climate and sustainability issues are complex and their impacts are far-reaching. We all need to act. Climate change is not the fault of some distant villain. We all contribute to the greenhouse gas emissions that are changing the Earth's climate. And we can all help alleviate the problem.Therefore, we want to give visibility to the population and government about what is happening in the world now with regard to climate change, raising awareness and subsidizing, thus, for more assertive decision-making in the search for the preservation of the planet.

Detailed Project Description
A Geographic Database was built using data from ArcGIS Living Atlas and NOAA in ArcGIS Online. This data was then processed and made available through dashboards and maps on a publicly accessible website, containing information on temperature, precipitation, wind, pressure, rainfall, hurricanes, cyclones and typhoons.
We use the ArcGIS System to process data and make information available to a population quickly, intuitively and securely. Within the ArcGIS ecosystem it uses ArcGIS Online, cloud-based software to create and share interactive Web maps; Living Atlas, evolving collection of global geographic content: images, base maps, demographics and lifestyle, landscape, boundaries and places, transportation, land utility, urban systems, oceans and historical maps; Experience Builder, builder of pages and web applications with drag and drop capabilities; Dashboard, a dashboard that allows users to upload information by presenting location-based analytics using intuitive, interactive data visualizations.
Space Agency Data
We have used images from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES), a family of satellites that provide continuous images and data on atmospheric conditions and solar activity (space weather), since 1975. Through a REST API provided by NOAA which has constant updates to throughout the day.
Hackathon Journey
Participating in the hackathon made all members think out of the box to come up with a solution that will help the best issues on the planet. So, after thinking a lot about what we were going to do, we came to the topic, things are heating up and from that we made the assembly of maps using real-time satellite images to disseminate information to places that do not reach the information. I want to thank the team for all the effort in the development of all the work.
