Inspiration
Millions of people die anually due to lack of preparedness and education regarding natural disasters. This inspired us to think of a solution in order to make a difference in the long run.
What it does
We developed an easy to use web site that not only gives recommendations , but also makes sure that the advice was comprehended by evaluating the users through quizzes.
How we built it
We built a web-based application that takes user inputs like age, household size, and disaster type. The system then generates personalized safety recommendations, a survival checklist, and quizzes.
We focused on simple design and clear logic to make the tool fast and easy to use in emergency situations.
Challenges we ran into
It was our first time working on GitHub and VSCode. We found it pretty difficult to configure and use commands.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Although we struggled with using the required programs, we kept on trying until we figured it out.
What we learned
Thanks to this challenge we have majorly improved our coding skills and co-working as a team, as well as our knowledge about natural disasters and our environment .
What's next for Terra Guard
We plan to improve our application by making recommendations context-aware, adapting safety instructions based on the user’s location, such as home, school, or other public institutions. This feature would be especially useful for implementing the system in schools, where emergency responses need to be more structured and specific.
Additionally, we aim to expand the quiz system by generating a wider variety of questions so that each user receives a different quiz each time. This would allow for more accurate individual assessment of disaster preparedness knowledge, especially for students.
