Introduction

The idea is to create a website that informs the public
of available disaster shelters. Hopefully, this will
benefit those who are left temporarily or permanently
homeless in the aftermath of a disaster.

Description

• Website allows users and shelter administrators to register
• Users can log on and view shelter information
• Shelter administrators can log on and edit their shelter's information (address, capacity, current enrollment)
• Users can find closest shelter to their home address (Google Maps Implementation)
• Website will send alerts to registered users during emergencies
• Users can register for volunteer work
• Volunteer work can include surveying people staying in shelters (satisfaction, food quality, sleeping environment, etc.)
• Volunteer survey information can then be displayed to public via website
• Users can donate on website
