DisasterAlert is an app that helps in the management of various types of disasters and accidents from a single center. The app allows users to send alerts, receive alerts, and show alerts with their locations from a single page. The aim of the app is to enable immediate and well-positioned interventions in case of emergencies.
The DisasterAlert app currently supports the management of the following disasters and accidents:
- Earthquakes
- Floods
- Landslides
- Forest Fires
- Regional Fires
The following are the current features available in the DisasterAlert app:
- Send alerts
- Get alerts
- Show alerts with their locations from a single page
The following are the features that will be implemented in future releases of the DisasterAlert app:
- Filter alerts according to type
- Add photos to alerts
- Add videos to alerts
- Calculate distance of alerts from the user's location
- Send push notifications in case of emergencies
- Redirect to the phone app for direct calls when the phone button is clicked
One of the most important goals for the future is to support the application by the police, fire, gendarmerie, and local administrations and to work in integration with their systems.
I decided to start the DisasterAlert project after the devastating earthquake that occurred in Kahramanmaras on February 6, 2023. Witnessing the lack of effective disaster management and the tragic loss of thousands of lives, I felt a strong need to create a solution that can help manage disasters and improve emergency response times. Through the DisasterAlert app, I hope to contribute to the efforts of building a safer and more resilient society.
