Disaster Management Insights Dashboard
Objective:
To develop an interactive and data-driven dashboard that provides real-time and historical insights into natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes, floods, wildfires), helping authorities, NGOs, and citizens make informed decisions for disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.
Technologies Used:
-
Frontend: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript (with Chart.js, Leaflet.js or D3.js for maps)
-
Backend: Node.js / PHP / Java
-
Database: MySQL / MongoDB
-
APIs & Data Sources: USGS, NASA FIRMS, OpenWeatherMap, ReliefWeb, etc.
-
Optional AI/ML: Python-based ML model to forecast risk levels or disaster likelihood
-
Geospatial Visualization: Google Maps API / Leaflet.js
Key Features:
-
Real-Time Disaster Alerts:
-
Integrate with public APIs for live updates on earthquakes, floods, wildfires, etc.
-
Visualize active disasters on an interactive map.
-
-
Historical Data Analytics:
-
Analyze past disaster occurrences (location, scale, duration).
-
Visual graphs for trends over time (e.g., rise in flood events in a region).
-
-
Disaster Type Filtering:
-
Filter insights by type (earthquake, cyclone, fire, drought).
-
Show stats like frequency, impact radius, affected population.
-
-
Risk Zone Mapping:
-
Highlight high-risk zones based on historical and environmental data.
-
Optionally use ML to predict high-risk areas.
-
-
Relief Center & Shelter Mapping:
-
Map locations of emergency shelters, hospitals, and support centers.
-
Link them with directions and capacity info.
-
-
Early Warning Integration (Optional):
-
Weather and seismic forecasts for early alerts.
-
Use AI to correlate weather and geological patterns for risk scoring.
-
-
Admin Panel:
-
Backend dashboard for disaster management officials to upload local reports, photos, and updates.
-
Push notifications to users in affected areas.
