We realized early on that there are too many problems in Humanitarian Aid missions to solve. With a focus on supply movements, locations of first responders, and crowdsourcing data from victims (location & supplies needed) we should be able to alleviate some of the pains first responders face during and after a disaster. Here is our updated problem statement:
HADR operatives CANNOT:
- Locate other first responders & victims in a region
- Locate where and what critical supplies are in a region
- Have access to data/a map that updates (in real time) who is doing what
- Track that supplies are actually delivered to people in need
AS A RESULT…
- Information, time, and resources are wasted
- And human lives are lost
