Project Objectives The primary objective of the Disaster Aid Platform is to provide users with real-time information about disaster-related events, empowering communities and individuals to stay informed and act quickly during emergencies. By centralizing disaster-related data such as news updates, user reports, and alerts for missing persons, the platform fosters better situational awareness and encourages prompt, coordinated responses. Users can leverage interactive maps and geolocation features to filter and sort ongoing events based on relevance, date, or proximity to their location. The platform also supports searching for specific events in particular regions.
Project Features Real-Time Event Updates: Users receive continuous updates on ongoing disaster-related events like news, user-generated reports, and alerts about missing persons. Geolocation and Mapping: The app detects the user's location and displays nearby events on an interactive map, allowing for quick identification of relevant situations. Filter and Sorting: Events can be filtered by categories (e.g., news, user reports, missing persons) and sorted by relevance, time of occurrence, or popularity. Search Functionality: Users can search for specific events or news updates related to particular locations to gain tailored information about disasters. User Contributions: Users can submit reports or information directly to the platform, contributing to real-time updates for other users. Alerts and Notifications: Immediate notifications and alerts for significant or critical events, such as missing persons or urgent news.
Tech Stack Frontend: Next.js 14, Redux, Tailwind CSS, Shadcn UI, TypeScript Backend: Supabase, SupaAuth, Supabase Storage Database: MySQL, Supabase real-time DB Other Dependencies: React-icons, Radix UI
Innovativeness Real-Time Geolocation Services: The platform uses geolocation technology to display events in the user’s immediate surroundings, enhancing situational awareness and faster responses. User-Generated Content: Users can submit their own disaster-related reports, which appear alongside official news updates, allowing for crowdsourced real-time data. Interactive Map Features: Users can view disaster information on an intuitive, interactive map, helping to visualize event locations relative to their own position.
Market Potential Government Agencies: Public safety departments and emergency response agencies can use the platform to share real-time updates with citizens during disasters. Non-Profit Organizations: Humanitarian organizations focusing on disaster relief can utilize the platform to disseminate information quickly and efficiently. General Public: Individuals living in disaster-prone areas or travelers can use the app to stay informed about potential dangers and contribute to the community with real-time reports. Media Outlets: News organizations can enhance disaster coverage by integrating their news updates into the platform, increasing user access to verified information.
