Digital Platforms Connect Assam Flood Victims with Relief Volunteers and Donors
In flood-affected Assam, technology initiatives are aiding relief efforts by connecting victims with volunteers and donors. Platforms like Helpmonk, a mobile app launched by Firingoti, and Axom Relief, a website developed by a Gauhati University student and collaborators, facilitate coordination of rescue and assistance. These tools aim to bridge gaps in disaster response, supporting everything from SOS alerts to long-term recovery. Both projects were rapidly developed to address urgent needs during the ongoing floods impacting over 1.35 lakh people.
