Individuals in need: Easily share their location and a descriptive tag (e.g., "trapped under rubble," "medical attention needed") to raise awareness and expedite rescue efforts.
Helpers: Quickly visualize shared locations on a map, prioritize those requiring urgent assistance, and coordinate rescue attempts effectively.
Backend: Flask (Python web framework) due to its flexibility and suitability for rapid prototyping. Mapping: Flask-GoogleMaps can be used to integrate interactive map visualizations, allowing users to see shared locations in real-time. Database: A lightweight database SQLite to store location data and tags efficiently.
