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.

Updates

posted an update

Date: 26 Nov 2025 Version: Alpha 0.1

Update: Initial hackathon prototype live! Features Implemented:

Real-time disaster alerts using Weather & Emergency APIs.

Safe route suggestions based on current location and hazards.

Push notifications for nearby emergencies.

Screenshots: (Insert screenshots of app interface here — map view, alert pop-ups, safe route highlights)

Code Snippet:

// Example: Fetching disaster alerts fetch('https://api.weatheralerts.com/v1/alerts?location=YourCity') .then(response => response.json()) .then(data => { displayAlertsOnMap(data.alerts); });

Next Steps:

Add AI-powered safe route optimization.

Implement user feedback reporting for hazard verification.

UI/UX improvements for clearer alert visualization.
