Conveying information on the "risk of flooding" efficiently
The challenge is to deliver a message with information on the risk of flooding:
How can risk of flooding be presented? Here are a few suggestions:
Other thoughts : we might want to customize the message depending on which type of region we are in. The impact of X% more precipitations might be different in a mountain region, or near a shore. What data do we have on the impacts (general) of increase in water levels ?
Another point is that we want to be careful and be transparent about the confidence we have in our model. Therefore, we might want to put an emphasis on words like "risk", "the predictions", "confidence of the model" (this is probably a bad one). But at the same time, if we put something out it will be because we TRUST our model's predictions, so we would need to put a note on that.

Landing page
Shouldn't the logo at the top left be the colored one of the CCAI project ?
The font of the text should be bigger
Presentation of the project : It is not quite clear from the description sentence of the website what it actually does and what we should expect. What about a more precise injunction, something like "Type a location and see what its neighborhood will look like under climate change in 2050" ? - this is not the best formulation as we still want to be careful and warn about the model confidence - When reading "This website shows you how climate change could affect our daily lives." I expect to read facts about crops being destroyed, shortage of natural resources, ... it's hard to make a direct link between an image that looks like your neighborhood under heavy rain, and what will change in your daily life but that's my personal opinion.
It should maybe be specified that we are only looking at floods for the moment.
