The People
Everyday heroes—volunteers, neighbors, grassroot helpers, large nonprofits, and government agencies—work tirelessly to rescue, recover, and rebuild. Without access to centralized information, the consequences can be devastating.
Time is lost
Critical needs go unmet, leaving people stranded without help.
Resources are wasted
Supplies and manpower are misallocated or delayed.
The burden increases
Strain on local governments and emergency services grows, leading to slower recovery times and higher costs.
