Inventor(s) include Mr. Joel John M; Miss. Magitha Nirmala Tennyson M. E; Ms. Itaritiiasiiree V; Mr. Anto Collins Joel P; and Ms. Thirisha S.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "In recent years and advancements in web technologies, geographic information systems (GIS), and cloud-based platforms have enabled the development of intelligent disaster management tools designed to enhance emergency response efficiency and situational awareness. Despite the availability of disaster reporting applications, first responders and administrative agencies often face challenges in coordinating relief efforts, assessing damage promptly, and maintaining secure access to sensitive information due to fragmented data sources and manual reporting processes. Our approach addresses these challenges by proposing a web-based disaster damage assessment and response platform with role-based access control (RBAC), enabling secure and streamlined collaboration among multiple stakeholders. The system compnses several integrated components, beginning with a real-time data collection module that aggregates damage reports, images-, and sensor inputs from affected Q) regions. A GIS-enabled visualization engine maps disaster impact, while a severity C) m assessment module classifies damage levels to prioritize response actions. Role-based access D.. -Cll control ensures that administrators, field responders, and volunteers access data according to C. their responsibilities, enhancing security and operational efficiency.
