Sahaara: An app to stay connected during emergencies

India has seen devastating natural calamities rattle the daily lives of the common man. Floods, earthquakes, cyclones and landslides are just few of the many adversities we have faced. While the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has policies (2009) and plans in place, it is usually the common man who come out to help each other.

Communities usually rely on existing media such as phone calls and apps such as Whatsapp, Facebook, Instagram etc. and do not have a platform that addresses multiple problems that specifically arises during natural disasters.
