What if your tweet could trigger an emergency response? 📱🆘
Nashin Mahtani, Director of the Disaster Map Foundation, introduces a real-time mapping platform that transforms social media posts into actionable disaster intelligence.

🌪️🌊 During emergencies, people post on Twitter, WhatsApp, Facebook, and other platforms—but that data is often lost in the noise.
The Disaster Map AI chatbot detects key words like flood or earthquake, verifies posts, and guides users to submit live, geotagged reports. The result? A public, real-time disaster map that helps responders and communities make faster, better decisions.

🔁 This is what innovation looks like when lives are at stake.
