SandySearch(圖1)-速報App

I was in Super Storm Sandy in 2012 in Connecticut, and was without power for 9 days. During the disaster, we had a very hard time discovering what services (gasoline, food, water, ice, power) were available and when and where. And if you have only a half a tank of gas you don't want to drive around looking for more, without knowing where to go.

The idea for this service is to use the power of crowdsourcing (think "Waze for Services, after a disaster"). It currently allows anyone (without a login) to search and report on services available in their area.

All users who do not login will be anonymous and not logged.

Verified users (pre-registered, think Red Cross, National Guard, and business owners/managers) can leave "verified" status updates, at no cost.

How It Works

So this service uses geolocation and a standard crowd-sourcing format to collect information from people in the field. And share it with anyone who needs it. One of the driving forces in the design was simplicity. "2 clicks to get to the answer".

Nothing fancy but it will work, much like the way Zello was used after Hurricane Harvey in Houston: https://wgntv.com/2017/08/29/civilians-and-cajun-navy-bring-their-own-boats-to-rescue-harvey-victims/
