Project 3: Heat-Related Illness in Arizona

This project was a part of the University of Arizona Data Analaysis Bootcamp (2023). The project is focused on telling a story using data visualizations.

Description

Within the United States, 700 heat-related deaths occur yearly. These deaths are preventable, and we can decrease these numbers by spreading awareness. Our team aims to provide a dashboard linking health data to clear visualizations that the public can use. Using the CDC's National Environmental Public Health Tracking Network data API, we created a dashboard to provide public acccess to heat-related illness data.
