Disasters strike at any moment.

 

The Challenge

Major cities are not equipped to deal with large scale evacuations after a disaster. Although civilians receive help from first responders, emergency managers, and the military, the general chaos and confusion immediately following does not allow for efficient and effective evacuations. Destroyed communication, transportation, and infrastructure adds many levels of complexity.

Solution

NYC Escapee is a mobile app that tracks and navigates evacuees to collection points, allowing emergency responders to prioritize rescue needs and requests.
