R.E.S.C.U.E—Resilience Enhanced through Satellite, Crowdsourced & Urgent Emergency Intelligence

Bangladesh is among the world’s most disaster-prone nations, facing recurring floods, cyclones, droughts, and waterborne disease outbreaks that collectively affect tens of millions of people annually. Existing disaster response systems are fragmented, rarely available in Bangla, and almost universally dependent on internet connectivity—which fails precisely when disasters strike. RescueAI (R.E.S.C.U.E.: Resilience Enhanced through Satellite, Crowdsourced & Urgent Emergency Intelligence) is an integrated, dual-platform disaster management system comprising a web-based command dashboard and a bilingual Bengali–English mobile application. The platform aggregates real-time hazard intelligence from seven authoritative sources, provides AI-assisted decision support including a voice interface operable without literacy, and implements a multi-layer offline architecture. This paper presents the platform’s data sources, functional features, and potential humanitarian impact for Bangladesh and comparable low- and middle-income countries.
