FIREGUARD Details

Firstly, we dedicate this project to our dear friends who lost their houses and livelihoods due to fires in the Philippines. Our heart goes out to them and we sincerely hope our project strikes a major change in fire literacy, preparedness, and management for the safety of our future. "花は咲く" - Flowers will bloom.

Fireguard is a modern cross-platform application that seeks to assist in the issue of local, residential, and non-residential fires globally by data-driven community-based means and serves as a platform for public safety education. Our application utilizes historical and live data to protect users by providing real-time updates on fires around them. We provide education and assistance to users before, during, and after the fire.

Benefits

Improved Response Times: Real-time information sharing enables firefighters and emergency services to respond promptly and allocate resources efficiently, leading to faster and more effective response times.
Enhanced Community Safety: By engaging the community and promoting public safety education, FIREGUARD empowers individuals to take proactive measures, reducing the occurrence and severity of fire incidents.
Better Coordination: The system facilitates better coordination between community members and emergency services, enabling collaborative efforts in fire management and resource allocation.

Our Goal

Our aim is to make a significant impact in reducing fire-related risks and protecting lives, property, and the environment. We strive to create a comprehensive fire management system that empowers individuals, fosters community engagement, and leverages technology to enhance fire safety practices.

Project development

On the first day, we first introduced ourselves to each other citing our specialization to diversify our skills as a team. Then, we brainstormed and outlined our plans to develop the project to be executed the following day. We created charts and even tier lists ranking the importance of the features to be implemented based on multiple perspectives. We excitedly thought we could implement the application until the Hackathon deadline but we realized the scale and complexity of the app would take us a long time. Therefore, we diverted our focus to further polishing our research outputs instead.
