Abstract

The project is a web application that can allow users to track location of cyclone shelters available around them for specific distance in the emergency situations. Communication during disaster time is very crucial for both rescue team and victim. Emergency never comes with prior intimation. The System is intended to function in case of emergencies in society. The emergencies include Fire, Medical Emergencies, accident and External Emergencies (Earthquake, Floods, Storm). Location Coordinates are sending on each request. The system works on the principles of client-Server system, wherein the server responds to the requests of the Clients. The front end of this web application is Web and the back end is MySQL. The chosen shelters will display details such as type of building like cyclone shelter, school, hospital, etc., The locals can also include their shelter details if they are ready to provide for the victims (details to be send to server located in the government premises). The digital coast is organized by categories as states with coastal areas (South India). Each states have the list of cities present and based on the chosen city, it will display user’s current location, the list of cyclone shelters in their cities and its location, number of people it can support, size of the building, its distance from shore and also map view system. This application can be used by news channel reporters in case of tower problem, because news channel reporters have satellite connection and solar power generation kit etc. Admin can sell solar power bank or solar battery or electricity battery.
