The problem CalamityCare solves

In light of the escalating climate crisis and the devastating impact of natural disasters, we've devised a cutting-edge solution for swift disaster response and management. Our innovative Disaster Risk Management System is a game-changer, designed to save lives and mitigate losses.

Using advanced technology like NASA's API, we predict and track natural threats in real-time. We've harnessed the power of AI, employing BERT encoding with LSTM to classify tweets, helping authorities swiftly identify critical information like casualties, losses, and donation opportunities.

But we didn't stop there. We've built a robust network involving NGOs, police, and local volunteers, ensuring seamless collaboration for rapid evacuation and relief efforts. Our platform delivers up-to-the-minute statistics on injuries, deaths, and evacuations, empowering decision-makers to allocate resources efficiently.

Locating disaster hotspots is no longer a challenge, thanks to our integration with Google Maps, enabling precise identification and targeted assistance delivery. Moreover, our FAQ bot provides instant answers to disaster-related queries, while our community bulletin serves as a vital resource hub for alerts, evacuation information, and relief facilities.

In times of crisis, communication is key. That's why we've implemented live chat support and one-click help options, ensuring individuals in distress receive immediate assistance. Transparency is paramount, and we provide clear, real-time data on the situation at hand, fostering trust and accountability.

With our system in place, we're not just responding to disasters; we're revolutionizing disaster management. Together, we're building a safer, more resilient future for all. Join us in making a difference today.

Challenges we ran into

-While exploring NASA's API for forecasting disasters, we encountered hurdles due to insufficient documentation, leading to a trial-and-error approach during integration.

-Understanding and implementing the API documentation, along with managing environment variables, posed initial difficulties. However, we remain determined to overcome these challenges.

-Integrating messaging within our online application proved problematic, prompting us to consider developing our own messaging backend as a potential solution.
