This repository was converted to a Python-first implementation. The React/Vite frontend was removed and replaced with a minimal Flask app that renders the map and risk indicators server-side and uses a small client script for interactivity.

Quick start (Windows):

1. Create and activate a virtual environment

python -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

2. Install dependencies

pip install -r backend\requirements.txt

3. Run the app

python backend\app.py

Open http://127.0.0.1:5000/ in your browser.

Notes

• The backend code lives in backend/.
• Risk calculation logic is in backend/utils/risk.py.
• Mock beach data is in backend/data/beaches.py.
• The interactive map uses Leaflet via a small client script at backend/static/js/map.js.

If you want the original React/Vite frontend restored, I can keep it in an archive/ folder instead of deleting it.
