Hey HN!

The what: I thought of an idea to build a site that can list cities around the world with the risk factor that city may have from things such as flooding, hurricanes, wildfires etc.

The why: Natural disasters happening all around the world right now are increasing each year.

The safety of family and loved ones is always a priority when looking for your next home. It would be great if there was a reference to assess risks before you consider where to live.

If you are interested to help gather the data for such a site, please contribute and share this document. If not or if you think this idea sucks, no worries. If you have feedback, suggestions or criticism, let me have it!

Me: I'm on a mission to learn to code while building things that genuinely help people. See my profile for more info :)

p.s feel free to share this to Reddit if you find a good subreddit for it, I am yet to find one.
