DISASTER RELIEF TRACKER: AN INTERACTIVE WEB DASHBOARD FOR TRANSPARENT SDRF DISTRIBUTION

State Disaster Relief Fund (SDRF) is a fund created by the government of a country or a state within a country
to provide financial assistance and support for immediate relief and rehabilitation measures in the event of
natural disasters or other calamities. One of the primary problems is the delayed response in allocating and
disbursing funds. Ineffective planning and coordination among various government agencies involved in
disaster response can lead to inefficiencies. Poor coordination may result in overlapping efforts, resource
wastage, and a failure to address the most urgent needs. To address these problems, governments need to
implement efficient and transparent systems, prioritize disaster preparedness and mitigation efforts, and ensure
that relief funds are allocated based on the actual needs of affected communities rather than other
considerations. In response to these challenges, the project has been developed to streamline the allocation
process by offering real-time insights into fund distribution, allowing stakeholders to track and visualize the
utilization of funds during different stages of disaster relief efforts. The dashboard promotes transparency by
providing clear guidelines for fund allocation and criteria, fostering public trust in the relief distribution process.
Through an intuitive interface, the web dashboard facilitates coordination among government agencies and
ensures a targeted and efficient response to disaster-affected citizens. It serves as a vital tool in improving
disaster management strategies, ensuring equitable relief, and enhancing overall preparedness for future
calamities.
