When disasters strike.wildfires, hurricanes, floods.volunteer response is chaotic. Volunteers self-organize on social media, duplicating effort in some areas while neglecting others. Supply donations pile up at drop-off points with no visibility into what's actually needed where. Professional responders (FEMA, Red Cross) have coordination tools, but grassroots volunteers are left with group chats and Google Docs. An open-source coordination platform could help volunteers self-organize effectively during the critical first 72 hours.
