Global Nominee

The Challenge | Spot That Fire!

Build a crowdsourcing tool for citizens to contribute to early detection, verification, tracking, visualization, and notification of wildfires.

Spot-That-Fire

Our solution is an application that supports crowdsourcing, fire reporting and verification, notifying the stakeholders and visualizing essential data. We have a dedicated dashboard and endpoints exposed to the authorities to support rescue operations.

SPOT-THAT-FIRE

Our solution consists of an android application, a backend built in Node.js , a realtime database for quickly managing information (firebase) and a dashboard built using vue.js. The links to the github repositories are given , their README files contain more information such as images, implemented features etc.

Our applications follows the following pipeline :

  • User signs up to the application using mobile number and OTP verification.
  • Users data including geolocation information are stored hierarchically in a realtime database to support location based querying.
  • The user has an option to "REPORT FIRE" where he'll be allowed to choose the location where the wildfire occured, provisions to upload audio/video/image and text data containing essential informations.
  • User can also report for another person in trouble.
  • Post reporting, user is shown the list of nearest relief camps in a map and he can choose to contact / navigate to one of it.
  • User can contribute as chartity to the relief camps and the app will display the requirements at the relief camp.
  • We show a firemap which contains the locations which has an open wildfire status reported fromt the EONET API and from verified crowdsourcing information.
  • We have a dashboard which is a single page application built in vue.js which supports querying and verifying data. The dashboard is given to authorized personnels only who can support in rescue operations.
  • We are giving air quality information and remarks to the user when he opens the app so that he can take the precautionary measures.
  • Users who sign up to the application are automatically subscibed to a locality and will receive push notifications in the application when there is a wildfire information in a surrounding region.
  • Admins can add verified wild fire information and relief camps through the dashboard.

Currently Working On :

  • Machine learning for video and image analysis to verify wildfire.
  • Helping people who are offline and supporting people through SMS with another application.
  • Extending this application to use for any other disaster management.
