  • buildHow I built it
    This tool fetches overnightly data from a trusted source hosted on Github. Through the use of Vincenty's formula, the tool calculates the geodesic between two given coordinates and computes the risk exposure based on the distance from user location. I have used javascript OpenLayers framework to plot the cities and their related risk exposures.
