INTRODUCTION

Disaster Information System is a Multiplatform application.It is being developed using Kotlin and Compose Multiplatform technology.

Motivation and Purpose

The existing information about various disasters is not readily available at the user level, and it lacks proper maintenance and analysis. To address this challenge, the Disaster Information System aims to collect information related to recently occurred disasters. This information is presented in various formats, including text, video, and images.

Project Scope and Assumptions

This project is intended for use with a high-speed internet connection and requires devices that support Google Maps, location permissions, and device media access permissions.

RELEASE VERSIONS & UPDATES

• Android | APK File | Google Play (will available soon)
• Windows | EXE File | Microsoft Link (will available soon)
• Website Link (will available soon)
• Apple Store Link (will available soon)

FEATURES

Multimedia Reporting

• Users have the ability to upload photos and videos directly from their device’s gallery to report disaster events

Smart Data Shrinkage

• Multimedia files with disproportionately large sizes relative to their duration will be automatically compressed before transmission to the server

Report Form

• A detailed submission form that collects essential information about the disaster, including the location, a description, the start date and time, and the end date and time of the disaster

Offline Queueing

• Enables users to collect and complete report details even when offline.The information will be stored locally and automatically uploaded once an internet connection becomes available.

Historical Insights

• Have the capability to explore historical disaster data through visual graphs. This feature offers valuable insights into the frequency, geographical distribution, and severity of past disasters
