Safely - ViT Hackers

• 

  Prototype

Problem statement

Selected problem statement 25: Develop a tool that helps people in war-ridden countries navigate around safely

What it does

A highly scalable application that uses real-time information about on-ground situations to inform users and helps them evacuate safely.

• Map integration - Dynamic zoning based on information
• Creates a network between people
• Find and form groups
• Get basic supplies like medicine, food, and shelter
• Nearby hospitals, military safe zones, and governments camps marked and verified by users

How We built it

Built using the PERN stack (Postgres, Express, React, Nodejs)

Challenges we ran into

Map integration and setting up the backend

Accomplishments that we're proud of

As first-timer hackathon participants, finishing and building a prototype within 24 hours felt good. We're incredibly proud of that.

What we learned

That hackathons are draining and hard. Requires dedication to sit down and get things done within such a short span of time.

What's next for Safely - ViT Hackers

We have plans to add even more features and polish out the product, we want to integrate a short-range, low-cost communication device using decentralized protocols to add support to areas without connectivity.
