Link to Live App: Tsunami Events Dashboard
This app contains a landing page with three tiles: an interactive geographical map that users can pan across to see the location of each tsunami as well as its strength, a time series graph showing the number of deaths by country, and a table listing the strongest tsunamis. The tsunami events data underlying the three plots is filtered for using a collapsible menu that contains two widgets: a slider to select a range of years of occurrence, and a drop-down menu to filter for countries impacted. The geographical map makes use of the tsunami latitude and longitude location data, generates a heat map to indicate tsunami magnitude, and allows users to hover over tsunami events plotted on the map to glean more comprehensive event details. Users can also peruse of a table listing the strongest tsunami events per the year and country selection applied, with the option to select from among a display of the top 5, 10 , 20 strongest events. Lastly, the time series graph shows the number of deaths by country per the year and country selection applied.
