Abstract

Urban areas can face various disasters all at once because they are intricate and susceptible. So, we require a good plan to make cities less susceptible to disasters and respond well when they happen. The aim is to create a user-friendly and accessible platform that provides real-time information during emergencies to people. It highlights the importance of timely and accurate information in disaster response. This research seeks to identify the essential features required for a complete disaster mapping system and evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed system through users. This research results in the development of a mapping system that enhances community flexibility and preparedness when dealing with emergencies. Furthermore, by implementing effective disaster preparedness and response strategies, urban areas can significantly reduce the extent of damage caused by disasters.
