Inspiration
We got inspired because disasters happen suddenly and people don’t know which route is safe or where to go. We wanted to make something useful that can alert people instantly and guide them safely. Seeing floods and road blockages made us think that a real-time safety app can actually save lives.
What it does
Our app gives real-time disaster alerts and shows safe routes on the map. It warns the user immediately, avoids danger zones, shows shelters and hospitals nearby, and also lets people share their live location with family during emergencies.
How we built it
We used Weather + Disaster API for alerts, Maps API for safe routes, Base44 for UI, and Firebase for backend. We designed the screens in Figma and connected all APIs so the app can update data live.
Challenges we ran into
Connecting multiple APIs was tough. Safe route generation kept changing with new data. Time limit was short and testing all cases was difficult. We also faced some accuracy issues from weather sources.
Accomplishments we’re proud of
We built a working model that gives instant alerts. We successfully created dynamic safe routes. Our UI is simple and fast for emergencies. We completed everything within the hackathon time.
What we learned
We learned how real-time APIs work, how to build fast UI for emergency situations, and how to manage time as a team. We also understood how important accuracy is when dealing with safety apps.
What’s next for SafeRoute 24/7
We want to add AI-based prediction, voice alerts, offline maps, and better accuracy. We also want to launch the app to more users and connect it with government data in the future.
