We Conducted 2 Survays - to understand the market & other to get app feedback from users

We did a market analysis consisting of more than 1700+ respondents across 11+ countries and various backgrounds. Dispite the diverse set of people, most of them wanted a community powered platform for disaster management.

Then we conducted a feedback survey involving more than 600+ closed beta testers (friends & family) who shared their experiece and rated the app's features.
