I made it so that users can now get predictions for anywhere in the world! I switched to a different API and one of the hardest parts was the url that it gave me had a filter built in for only the US and it took a while for me to figure out why all locations it gave were in the US. I fixed it, though, and now anyone from anywhere in the world can get predictions for power outages.
This should make a lot of people happy. I got a lot of feedback that I should make it work for anywhere in the world. The model was set up in a way that it would but the API I was using for geocoding only had US and Canada. I switched to a different API and now users can put an address for anywhere in the world and get a data-backed prediction.

My friends an I built a website that uses a Random Forest ML model to predict power outages before they happen. Additionally, I made a place for users to submit reports and a place for admins to manage those reports. Users can also see the reports in a table. The hardest part was getting the data from the risk submission form to submit. I was trying to use a json file and js program, but I ended up switching to using a Vercel KV database, which is good because it updates automatically and instantly, and it is a lot easier than the method I was initially trying. I’m proud of the risk reporting and report viewing features because they were a challenge but I was able to overcome them. The ML model also seems to be pretty accurate because when it was raining, the percent risk in my area went up.
I fixed adding reports, so now it shows in the table. It is expandable in the table so users can see images by clicking the entry, keeping the table more compact when collapsed. Additionally, I added an admin panel where anyone with the password can manage the entries in the table. To store data, I used a Vercel Upstash for Redis KV database, which I used Claude to help me properly implement.

I had to redo a lot of work such as creating everything on the report.html page because by .git got corrupted somehow and I hadn’t pushed yet. I also (hopefully) fixed index.html issues so the link never goes directly to index.html and goes to main.html instead. also added a button for report risk/outage to each page and fixed the format for the buttons. index.html was our old home page, but I stopped updating it and switched to main.html. I think I’m going to remove the map from this page and put it on a separate page to see current reports near the user. If possible, I’ll make it so they can be marked as fixed.

I made report.html. This page allows users to report power issues or risks that they see. I will add a way for them to upload photos. also, I need to add the link for it in the header for all other pages. I will then add a way for people to see active reports within a certain radius of them.

I worked mainly on the frontend. There is old work in the deprecated UI work, and then I used AI to help figure out how to implement the formatting I had planned. I also added integration with the Geocodio API so users can search for any location in the US. In the search bar, it shows suggestions as you type. Before, there were only a few locations that we manually added, all of which were in Virginia. The backend was worked on mainly by a couple of other people, but I helped debug it. These hours being logged are only hours that I worked, not including their hours. I also added a thumbnail to the tabs.
