DRCAS Hackathon

The document outlines the Disaster Response Community Alert System (DRCAS) developed by Team SpectreX, focusing on improving disaster preparedness and response through real-time alerts and resource tracking. It addresses the critical issues of inadequate information during natural disasters, which leads to chaos and loss of lives, and proposes a smart system that connects citizens, NGOs, and authorities. The solution aims to enhance community resilience by providing actionable data on shelter availability, food, and medical resources during emergencies.

Introductionand SDG selected
We selected SDG 13, 11, and 3 becauseclimate change is increasing disasters,
cities need resilient systems, and human
health isdirectly impacted. Our
projeçt integrates real-time alerts, shelter and resource tracking to improve
disasteK preparedness, ensure efficient response, and protect lives by
connectingcommunities, authorities,and NGOs effectively during
emergencies.

SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being


This goal aims to "ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages". It addres
sesmajor health priorities
SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
This goal focuses on making "cities and human settlements inclusive,safe, resilient and
sustainable".
SDG 13: Climate Action
This goal calls for "urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts".

Information
The problem :Lack of proper info system
Natural disasters (floods, cyclones, heatwaves) are increasing due to climate change. While alert systems
exist, critical gaps still remain

Key Issues:
- No real-time shelter vacancy information
- No visibility of food, water, and medical availability
- Overcrowding in some shelters while others remain underutilized
- Lack of coordination between NGOs and affected citizens
- Delayed or missing ground-level updates
- No system to guide citizens to the nearest available safe location
- During disasters,people receive alerts but lack real-time actionable data about where to go and what
resources are available, leading to chaos, inefficiency, and loss of lives.

Core Problem: During disasters, people receive alerts but lack real-time actionable data about where to go
and what resources are available, leading to chaos, inefficiency, and loss of lives.

The proposed idea -Solution !
The proposed a Smart Disaster Response and Resource Availability
solution is

System that delivers real-time alerts,tracks shelter capacity and vacancy, and
provides information on food, water, and medical aid. It connects citizens,
NGOS, and authorities, enabling efficient coordination, better decisionmaking,
and effective resource distribution during emergencies, reducing chaos and
saving lives.

Our solution transforms disaster management by bridging the gap between


alertsand real-time action. By integrating live data on shelter availability,
food, and medical resources, it enables faster, smarter decision-making. This
system enhances community resilience, supports NGOs, and ultimately saves
lives during critical situations.

"Empowering people with the right information


at the right time can make the difference
between risk and safety."
proposed solution and idea
For Citizens

:
- real time disaster alerts

- nearby safe shelter details with vacancy (available/limited / full)

- food, water , medical sources availability

- safe route navigation with all emergency instructions

For NGO's I Authorities :


- Live dashboard of disaster zones
- Shelter management system (capacity tracking)

- Resource monitoring (food, medicine,water)


- Volunteer coordination

- Risk heatmaps

- wheather prediction and forcast in earlier duration using machine

learning and wheather prediction tools like [Link]


Approach orMethadology
Data Collection Data Processing
- Weather APls using ai prediction - Risk classification (Low / Medium / High )
- Government alerts - Location-based filtering
- NGO manual updates - Shelter availability

Optional loT sensors


Real-Time Updates
- NGOS update:
- Shelter occupancy
- Food stock
- Medical availability

&
Mapping Navigation
Notification System -GPS + Maps integration
-Push notifications -Displays nearest available shelters

-SMS alerts (for low connectivity areas) Wheather mapping and analysing
-Through in app live alerts using ai tools and geographic locations
System architechture and workflow !
Frontend (App/Web) Data Input Layer
- Citizen dashboard - Weather APls (rainfal, cyclone
- NGO dashboard alerts) using ai prediction
genearal disaster management - Government disaster feeds
report - NGO inputs (manual updates via
dashboard) evacuation routes.

Notification System
- Push notifications. Processing Layer Backend Server
- SMS alerts (low internet
- Risk analysis engine - Stores user data (location, etc..)

support).
- Location filtering - Disaster info by ai prediction
- Resource and availability - Resources availability data
Emergency broadcast
tracking - volunteer and citizen info
- In app alerts
- Emerecncy automated call
