Disaster Hub - Hackathon Finalist

Did you know it takes Emergency services 2 hours to establish a plan during a natural disaster?

The Problem

During disasters, the Emergency Response Center (EOC) is flooded with updates while internet and cellular networks fail...

it's hard to coordinate safely.

Volunteers want to help, but they need a clear direction, otherwise they risk duplicating effort or entering unsafe areas.

The Solution

DisasterHub is an offline first, dual sided system where AI agents draft tasks from incidents the EOC dispatches tasks to volunteers on site.

  1. The EOC reviews and approves AI suggested tasks before volunteers see them, protecting chain of command and reducing risk from incorrect instructions.
  2. On mobile, volunteers can report, view, update tasks even offline, with local storage and clear sync indicators when any connection becomes available.
