The number of people displaced from their home communities because of natural disasters or conflict has grown to 68.5 million people worldwide. Many refugees re-settle in urban areas or settlements planned by a humanitarian organization, while others self-settle in unplanned, usually rural settlements.
We are developing mobile application named SafeHaven that reads collected data from NASA datasets such as Landsat, MODIS, GRACE, VIIRS, and others. Data collected describes the environmental and climatic conditions, infrastructural change, and nighttime lighting conditions, as well as the multi-year and potentially multi-decadal changes about each settlement. These data give unique insights to determine the location of these settlements and refugees’ needs associated with each settlement such as medical equipments, clothes (according to the climatic conditions), specific medicines and more.
Lastly, unplanned settlements will be announced in SafeHaven application and allow volunteers and humanitarian organizations to join building a planned camp from unplanned settlement to improve global awareness of living conditions at informal settlements, which are home to ever-increasing populations of displaced people around the world.
SpaceApps is a NASA incubator innovation program.
