Inspiration

Our public security forces must be extremely organized and prepared in our current world of terrorist attacks, natural disasters and possible nuclear wars started by edgy world leaders.

What it does

In case of a disaster - organizers will have a clear detailed overview of where every police, medic, firefighter and military are located. Organizers will have detailed data about the current overall situation in the area, like:

  • Wind direction = Needed if there has been a toxic explosion
  • General map data = map all potential escape routes so organizers know where to put drones with cameras to eventually catch important footage of a perpetrator.
  • Traffic situation = used to calculate how far the perpetrators might have fled

Side note

This weekend we focused on the force location part. The GPS positions of every rescuer is obviously not open data but we built a simple tracker to show capabilities of the technology. This MVP will prove how effective it CAN be when combining all kinds of data. MUCH more data can be applicable to this organizer dashboard.

How we built it

Code and hammers

Challenges we ran into

When compared to well designed, modern REST apis from unicorn startups like Stripe, it's kind of hard to work with some old authority data sources.

What we learned

More beer will not improve ideas.
