Smartphone app saving people from natural disasters

FEST

We are 5 undergraduate engineers at University of Thessaly.

We thought about building a smartphone app that uses existing technologies to help save more people from natural disasters.

It uses location data along with NASA data and prediction models to warn people and provide critical info to them and the corresponding authorities.The AI system processes the data mentioned above along with user feedback in order to suggest the best possible solutions either for citizens or rescuers.

It refers to citizens and also rescuers (2 modes).

It contains an interactive map with a user-friendly GUI and easy symbols.

It also provides citizens the ability to help others by offering shelter or other needed necessities to those in need.

It must be noted that the app provides suggestions but doesn't take responsibility, that stays to the corresponding authorities.
