Disaster Management, a strategy or an activity that involves risk reduction planning and effective preparations for all stages of a crisis cycle, faces challenges in synchronization of the flow of information resulting in constant communication problems. This coordination imbalance leads to vulnerabilities in communities and makes them unprepared to respond and recover effectively. To fill these gaps, a new integrated inclusive, and accessible AI-driven platform, Surakshit Bharat has been introduced to mitigate the existing gap as mentioned above. It would integrate government agencies, NGOs, volunteers, and citizens, ensuring those who are most at risk can receive assistance and aid relief as fast as possible. Equipped with multiple technologies, the platform would be capable of sending out alerts in real time, remote assistance, a voice interface, and gamified educational training to improve self-efficacy and efficiency during preparation and rescue efforts. Elders and people with low literacy levels can easily access the platform through a simple navigated interface and multilingual guides. Utilizing cutting-edge technologies with a focus on inclusivity, the platform portrays itself as a comprehensive, integrated, and innovative solution in the crisis management system.
