A web application using google satellite view (through Google Maps) to find areas of a city/region in the range of threat posed by a flood. We can find the most affected zones as well as the least affected zones. The application not only identify those regions but also suggest an efficient order in which rescue operation can be carried out. The web application also lists helpful link and contacts in case of an emergency. The website also promotes donations to the needy by providing links to the government/humanitarian organisations.
The major issue was to cluster the contour lines into zones. After brainstorming for hours, going through internet and different algorithms, we worked out an alrgorithm to do the job efficiently. We were struck for sometime in fetching API keys, but we were lucky to have our seniors at rescue.
