The Challenge | Don’t Forget the Can Opener!
Create an easy-to-use way for people to develop their own, custom checklists – both items and plans – for specific kinds of disasters. Use NASA images, videos, or data visualizations to illustrate each disaster type, to help people understand how to prepare.
RescueBuddy
An android application that helps you in planning evacuation, shelter and providing details about rescue. It also let the rescuers know the nearby victims of the disaster without using internet.
We used an android application for the frontend of the application, Node.js for Backend and provide API to the application. We also built a django admin panel for the management of the data. The main USP of our application, that it helps victims in being found by the rescuers without using the internet, this feature uses wifi and wifi hotspot to spot victims near the rescuer. The application provides information about many disasters and plans to manage the disasters. We help user in building their disaster evacuation plan kit (go-bag) and provide information about different kits according to the different disasters in the region.
