🌐 EPOCH

EPOCH is a high-fidelity geospatial intelligence tool designed to visualize Earth's active natural hazards in a cinematic, "War Room" style environment. It leverages NASA's EONET data to render real-time disasters on a 3D interactive globe.

📂 Repository Structure

The repository is organized into backend and frontend components to deliver a seamless 3D visualization experience:

🔹 Backend Core

• Flask Application: The main entry point (app.py) that handles API routing and serves the application.
• Data Processing: Logic to fetch, sanitize, and format raw JSON telemetry from NASA's EONET API.
• API Endpoints: Custom routes (/api/disasters) that bridge the external NASA data with the frontend interface.

🔹 Frontend Visualization

• 3D Globe Engine: JavaScript logic (script.js) powered by Three.js and Globe.gl to render the holographic earth.
• Reactive Interface: Glassmorphism styling (style.css) for the Heads-Up Display (HUD) and live status indicators.
• Dashboard Layout: Main HTML structure (index.html) containing the canvas and overlay elements.
