Communicating climate risk

FEMA has asked us to build an improved dashboard that visualizes the risk of climate change in the United States.

Based on your submitted designs and our skill level, we will work to implement this Shiny dashboard.

Construct a user interface

Structure the dashboard layout

Define the dashboard title
Implement the three page layout
Include separate sidebars for the national and county views
Define separate rows for the county tab (map and plot on top, value boxes on the bottom)

Position the outputs

Tip

Review the documentation for how to display different types of data (e.g. plots, tables, value boxes). Remember that for most of the outputs, they will be generated in the server function so you won’t see them rendered in the dashboard yet.

First tab
- National map
Second tab
- State map with highlighted county
- Dot plot for hazard types
- Value boxes for 4 overall risk measures (overall risk score, expected annual loss, social vulnerability, community resilience)
Third tab
- Overall data set - does not require Shiny to implement. Use
```
climate_risk |>
  gt() |>
  opt_interactive()
```

Define the inputs

Tip

Use your Shiny cheatsheet and the reference documentation to find appropriate input types.

National tab

Dropdown for hazard type

County tab

Dropdown for county

Tip

You can get all county names using

climate_sf |>
  arrange(STATEFP) |>
  pull(county)

Checkboxes for overall risk measures

Tip

You can get all risk measures using

# hazard types
hazard_types <- climate_risk |>
  select(contains("hazard")) |>
  colnames()

# human-readable labels
hazard_types_labels <- hazard_types |>
  str_remove(pattern = "_hazard_type_risk_index_score") |>
  make_clean_names(case = "title")

Define code context

Define the appropriate context for each code chunk. One of
- setup
- data
- server
- Nothing (no context required, so omit the chunk option entirely)
