Abstract

Civii is a citizen-powered mobile-based disaster reporting and rescue support system that addresses the communication and coordination gap during emergencies. The application enables users to capture and report critical incidents using images or videos directly from their smartphones, with full support for offline functionality. Reports are stored locally when internet access is unavailable and automatically synchronized with the backend server once connectivity is restored. Civii integrates an AI/ML module built with Python (using TensorFlow and OpenCV) to analyze uploaded media and detect emergency conditions such as fire, flood, smoke, or the presence of people in distress. Based on the AI analysis, the system generates and delivers automated rescue guidance messages to the user, providing immediate actionable support. Civii also includes a real- time push notification system that alerts users within a 1 km radius of any new incident, activating local citizen responders and volunteers. In addition to disaster scenarios, Civii supports civic reporting for issues like damaged roads, power failures, water leaks, and garbage overflow, making it a multipurpose citizen assistance platform. A secure web dashboard is available for authorized responders and administrators to access geo-tagged reports, assess severity, and coordinate appropriate responses. Civii combines AI-driven intelligence, offline capability, and community collaboration to build a smarter, more resilient emergency and civic support infrastructure.
