When we all think of natural disasters, besides other things we all think of people, and their wellbeing. That is exactly what came to our mind as a team. Around 68,000 people on average each year dies on natural disasters. That is because of not being well informed on time. And as we all know that NASA provides predictions about natural disasters and the way they inform people are through news, but as we all know not all of us watch news or even if we watch them we do not get the information on time.
So as we thought of this we came up with this solution. To bring the information as close as possible to the people, and as we know the closest object which we carry all the time is our smartphone. Our solution is an app which consist of two sections, The warnings and Donations.
The warnings uses NASA’s real time data to identify the areas affected by natural disasters and tracking people if they are in those areas, if so it sends a message through pop-ups on their smartphones informing them with different details about the natural disaster that they are soon to be affected. And with the message different detailed information and instructions are included. On a button below on the warning of a “danger zone” you get a map which shows you the way to get out of the “danger zone”, giving you directions to a “safe zone”. As you follow the directions the app sends you other different warnings like “neutral zone” and “safe zone”. The whole idea of The warning is to get you to a safe zone through the smartphone
On the other side, Donations is the section that provides opportunities for people with good manners who are willing to help those in need, with different ways like suppliers, shelter or volunteering for further events. In our app you have the Donations divided in four categories where as you are sign in you can donate food, water, clothes, provide shelter or you can volunteer for events coming up.
Our main vision is to decrease the number of people dying on natural disaster, offering them help as fast as possible before the disaster affects them, so when volunteers can not get to people in danger and help them we will provide them e way out of the danger zone.
