Developed as a part of Microsoft Codefundo 2018.
Natural disasters are sudden events such as floods, earthquakes, or hurricanes that cause humongous damage to both human lives and earth's resource. With meticulous planning and sagacious implementation these can be mitigated. A small idea when implemented at the right time with the right means can aid humanity to a profuse extent.
Here's our platform! https://sumedhpb.github.io/Natural-Disaster-Mitigation/

Food
This section of the platform lets people who are in search of food/groceries to request their relevant needs. The idea is to bring together donors and receivers that lets the receivers find nearby donors with available resources. The donor when in excess of food can update the information regarding the number of people he can offer food along with his geolocation. At the receiver's end, the receiver can look for nearest donors who are offering food.

Medicine

Person Locator
This section of the platform aims at connecting the disconnected members of a family with their loved ones. Users need to provide details of the missing ones like photo, age, gender etc for the platform to find them. On the other end, users can also update information on encountering the missing ones for their families to find them. Azure's facial recognition API is used to run a facial scan of the uploaded photos and generate a confidence score of how well the actual person's photo matches with the uploaded photo of the missing person.
