Problem RapidAlert Solves

Inefficiencies and inabilities of our current system to effectively report, handle and communicate in times of emergencies

• No quick and easy way for reporting
• Lack of usage of automated technologies to detect various accidents
• Lack of an automatable endpoint for such emergencies

• Integration with Maps.

• User Authentication using Mobile Number

• Clean and simple UI

• Easy to read and write endpoints
