🌍 Inspiration

Extreme weather events are becoming deadlier every year. We wanted to build something that could actually save lives — a system that predicts disaster before it strikes and gets help to people faster.

🤖 What We Built

AstraShield AI is a real-time disaster prediction and emergency response platform with 6 core features:

  • 4-Hazard AI Engine — predicts Flood, Storm, Heatwave & Cyclone risk with 97%+ accuracy
  • Live Weather Intelligence — OpenWeatherMap integration updated via GPS
  • One-Tap SOS Dispatch — sends name, phone, disaster type & live location
  • Live Disaster Map — SOS requests color-coded by rescue status
  • Smart Advisory Engine — safety tips auto-generated by Gemini 2.5 Flash
  • Rescue Coordination HQ — admin dashboard to track & resolve SOS alerts

🛠️ How We Built It

  • Frontend: React + Vite + Tailwind CSS
  • Backend: Node.js + Express + MongoDB
  • AI Engine: Python + Flask + Google Gemini 2.5 Flash
  • APIs: OpenWeatherMap, Google Gemini AI

🚧 Challenges

  • Training the AI model to accurately classify 4 different disaster types from live weather inputs
  • Connecting the Python AI engine with the Node.js backend seamlessly
  • Building a real-time map that updates SOS pins live

📚 What We Learned

  • How to integrate multiple APIs into one cohesive platform
  • Using Gemini 2.5 Flash for real-time AI advisory generation
  • Building full-stack disaster response systems under time pressure
