Presentazione del gruppo di lavoro

The core goal of our project is to provide communi�es with a flexible pla�orm that empowers them to support each other in situa�ons of environmental disasters. It allows to match offers and requests of aid in an op�mised way, restoring the normal course of life. By providing such pla�orm, we will contribute to the

crea�on of a robust sense of belonging to the community, as well as a stronger sense of autonomy and self empowerment. Both are key features, in a crowded world, where it is not always possible to rely on help from the system. With a small tool, we contribute to mo�va�ng people to give their best and support each

other.

Our goal is not to subs�tute ins�tu�onal help, we do not have neither the ability nor the ambi�on to do this. Ins�tu�onal help mostly takes care of life or health threatening emergencies. We would like our tool to support, for more prac�cal issues, aiming at ge�ng back to normality: ge�ng rid of wet furnitures, wet

walls, mud. Our goal is to assist people and, possibly, ins�tu�ons, by organizing the genuine and spontaneous strength of the Community.

The web based pla�orm will consists of a combina�on of social media, interac�ve maps, and a web based applica�on. It will run on IOS, Android and Windows, on smartphones and computers, but also on mobiles. Such pla�orm will be opera�onal also in absence of internet connec�on, through a parallel system, based

on SMS (text messages).
