Pacific Northwest hazard pages
We added dedicated pages for a Cascadia earthquake and for extreme heat, and fixed the regional cards so each one opens its own page. Readers in the Northwest can go straight to the hazard that affects them.
Preparedness publication · Pacific Northwest
10 Deadliest Disasters
An independent publication that turns history’s deadliest disasters into practical preparedness steps for Northwest households.
The challenge
The original source files for the site could not be found, so we started from a copy of the live pages. Those pages had no phone layout and links that did not reach the right sections. The publication also needed a way to cover current events and recommend gear honestly.
What we built
2.
A blog with a live disaster tracker
The blog includes a tracker that pulls recent earthquakes from USGS and weather alerts for Oregon and Washington from the National Weather Service. News posts cite their sources and hedge early figures.
3.
A preparedness gear guide
Each gear card links to a specific researched product, with a plain disclosure of how picks are chosen and the affiliate relationship. We removed any wording that suggested products had been tested when they had not.
4.
A brand partnership page
A partners page gives brands a clear place to learn about working with the publication.
5.
A layout that works on phones
We added a phone layout to the original pages, replaced a double navigation bar with one sticky header, and drew an original line-art mountain background for the site.
