We created an easy and integrated way of asking for help. Any kind of help. Just tap a button and the help will come at your location.
Basically all the user needs to do is choose what kind of help is needed (let's say wildfire) and then press a button for a couple of seconds. The fire department will get the location of the distress signal, weather conditions, fastest routes, a 3D map of the location (using satellite photos to create a terrain model) and some other basic infos.
Although we developed it thinking about wildfires, the user may choose from environmental, social and health related problems and the app will automatically send the required infos to the correct public department.
Ampari, the best way to ask for help. Of any kind!
