Hackathon Project

Problems

• People don’t know where to go for help during a disaster
• Individuals often don’t have the ability to communicate exactly where they are in a disaster

Goals

• Ensure that relief groups can communicate important information to the affected population
• Allow the affected people to communicate that they are still in need of help
• Recognize disaster situations by significance
• Pinpoint exact location of people in need of help

Use cases

• Report a disaster situation and call for help
• Broadcast important messages and available nearby resources to people in a location with an ongoing disaster
• Register for future alerts about disaster relief in your location

Our solution

• A web application that allows users to report disasters or register for future SMS alerts
• A database to store location information that allows relief groups to analyze and prioritize relief efforts
• A script that automates sending SMS messages to all registered people in an affected area
