We, JKKNIU_Tech_Hub, are working to impower volunteers to respond to every natural disaster as quick and efficiently as possible with the help of NASA's data.

Disaster Response

This is NASA Space Apps Challenge 2021 JKKNIU_Tech_Hub team Project.Our goal is to be aware of risks of natural disasters and respond to them fast and efficiently and to help the people who help others , enabling volunteers to respond fast and efficiently to nearby crisis,Specially during disasters. We awarded 2nd Runner-up in NASA Space apps challenge Bangladesh 2021.

Our goal is to be aware of risks of natural disasters and respond to them fast and efficiently . We aim to create a tool to help the people who help others , enabling volunteers to respond fast and efficiently to nearby crisis. Specially during disaster .

How it works

The website uses Nasa's EONET API and a few other tools to find the natural disasters happening around the globe. And where ever there is a disaster there is a need for help. Volunteers nearby gets informed of the disaster to swiftly appear at site with help.

They can validate the crisis and create a list for the needs for the relief operation . That other volunteers can help with. Lets take a real life example. Imagine in your city a flood has caused mass damage and public suffering . Your community now needs 100litres of clean water , 80kg of food , 3 types of medicine for waterborne diseases and transportation like boats for rescuing people and transport some people like an lady to the hospital. Lets say a volunteer team arrives only with 100kg of food , the next team comes with 100 kg of more food and so on follows, you realise that you have resources but not the right kind nor of the right amount. Our platform solves this issue , as the first volunteers fills up everyone on the needs via our platform the following that criteria , govt can gain a better understanding in shorter time of necessary relief efforts , and the the warning beforehand to the volunteers means shorter response. Put it short , it means help that comes faster , more efficient and where its needed the most.

Technical parts

We are using geo-data , NASA's EONET API for finding out the disasters as they hit in near real time . A website provides a unified platform for every govt and non-govt personal on the rescue and relief missions more cohesiveness and efficiency .

disaster-response's Issues

Script for using data from NASA API

We need a script or function to retrieve data from NASA open API's .

Primary goal is to simply load the data in a JSON format.
Secondary goal is to create functions for using and manipulation data from there .

I would like to be assigned to this problem

Background needs a change

The background needs to be changed , add more pics of disaster and volunteer works maybe?

Remove redundant code

A lot of reference to php codes are left internally within the index.html file . We need to clean it up and leave only leave the basics for working on it.

Example : A lot of code about "resturants?" are there in the code .

Suggested change : Leave only the navbar and 2/3 sections with background pic.

Front end page for EONET API

A front end page is needed for properly using the NASA EONET API

Add create an empty html file linked to the navbar

We need an empty html file to test changes made with API . Best if linked to the navbar.
