RescuWave - An Emergency Response Coordination App

RescuWave is an innovative app engineered to streamline and enhance the coordination of emergency responses. By connecting people with the right rescue agencies during emergency situations, it ensures a swift and coordinated rescue effort. Users can report emergencies with a few taps, while RescuWave automatically shares location and details with relevant agencies, and notifies their emergency contacts. Users can track the arrival of rescue agencies on a live map, communicate directly, and experience the peace of mind that comes with a community prioritizing their safety.

Features

  • Two-level System: Both individual users and rescue agencies are integrated within a single platform
  • Authentication: Secure authentication via three methods: Email/password, Phone-OTP, and Google sign-in
  • Report Emergencies: Users can report emergencies by specifying the type of emergency and their location
  • Nearby Rescue Agencies: Fetch nearby agencies using the Google Places API for quick assistance
  • Rescue Agency Notifications: Rescue agencies receive tailored notifications based on their specialization
  • Emergency Contacts Notification: SMS alerts are sent to users' emergency contacts, which is especially helpful when there is no internet connection.
  • User Map View: Users can see the location of rescue agencies that have accepted their emergency
  • Agency Map View: Rescue agencies can view filtered emergencies based on their specialization
  • Communication: Users can directly contact any rescue agencies involved in their emergency, and rescue agencies can also contact users and other involved agencies.
