Build a Crowdsourced Disaster Response Website
Create a powerful platform where users can report disasters, request urgent help, offer supplies or shelters, and visualize affected areas in real-time using map-based data aggregation.During emergencies, crowdsourced platforms save lives. Building this teaches you geolocation services, real-time reporting, map integrations, community-driven data gathering, and emergency communication protocols — ideal for civic tech projects.
Users can report incidents like floods, earthquakes, fires, or medical emergencies, request rescue or supplies, offer assistance, and view live incident hotspots on an interactive map.
Real-Time Incident Reporting
Allow users to report emergencies by selecting disaster types, location, description, and severity levels.
Map Visualization of Reports
Plot all active incidents on an interactive map using markers with filters for disaster types and urgency.
Request and Offer Help
Victims can request rescue, food, water, or shelter; volunteers can offer supplies, medical help, or transport.
Crowd Validation and Updates
Enable the community to validate reports, mark them as resolved, update statuses, or request assistance escalation.
Users submit incident reports via quick forms with geolocation or address inputs. Reports are visualized on maps. Volunteers and authorities monitor the dashboard and coordinate rapid responses to rescue, assist, or support victims.
- Users submit reports with optional photo/video proof and geolocation tagging.
- All reported incidents are visible on the map with details like type, severity, and time reported.
- Volunteers browse needs (e.g., rescue, shelter, food) and offer help directly through the system.
- Authorities can monitor the overall situation dashboard in real time to prioritize responses.
- Optional: Add SMS/Email alerts for critical incident reports or rescue team notifications.
