The Challenge | Don’t Forget the Can Opener!

Connecting you to immediate disaster relief!

With global temperatures rising, extreme weather conditions are becoming increasingly common around the world. Disaster preparedness and readiness could potentially save many lives during these weather situations.

It’s hard to track where people affected by extreme weather end up, and what resources they are lacking when these situations occur

Our Solution:

  • SMS Disaster bot to track pre-disaster and post-disaster states of people affected
  • Personalizable list of supplies people should prepare
  • Location tracking of people pre-disaster and post-disaster
  • Number of people in someone’s party
  • Any resources or help required after the disaster occurs and where

Resources we used: twilio, python, flask
