Disaster Response Project

Project Motivation

In this project, I apply skills I learned in Data Engineering Section to analyze disaster data from Figure Eight to build a model for an API that classifies disaster messages.

Instructions: (Run run.py directly if DisasterResponse.db and claasifier.pkl already exist.)

1. Run the following commands in the project's root directory to set up your database and model.

   • To run ETL pipeline that cleans data and stores in database python data/process_data.py data/disaster_messages.csv data/disaster_categories.csv data/DisasterResponse.db
   • To run ML pipeline that trains classifier and saves python models/train_classifier.py data/DisasterResponse.db models/classifier.pkl

2. Run the following command in the app's directory to run your web app. python run.py

3. Run at http://0.0.0.0:3001/

Example

Type in: We have a lot of problem at Delma 75 Avenue Albert Jode, those people need water and food.
