 Hello, my name is Kurian. I come from Kerala. So I am a third year student in model engineering college I'm a contributor in cloud cv. So today I'm here to talk about the official website of Which was used for Kerala rescuing when the flat flat flat happened during the August so I'm here to talk about that website. Can we go to the next slide next slide? Can you please? Can you just play that video in the previous slide? So this is a small video about how the floods were affected in Kerala. So as you can see Almost the end as state like almost the 40 percentage of our state were flooded during Kerala during the bad floods which happened almost 35 dams were opened during the floods and a lot of people were stranded and as you can see people are looking for rescue and also The government had no mechanism to coordinate all the request from anything. There were slant landslides in the hilly regions and As you can see that and also about 320. This is just an earlier figure about four hundred and eighty people died during Kerala floods and also and also the Thing was there was no platform for rescue or something the the government had a huge challenge because The the no one thought that floods will happen at that time because people were thinking that It was just rains. It usually happens because Kerala is a tropical country Rocket tropical place, but all of a sudden all the 35 dams were opened because of deadly floods as you can see People's houses being houses being flooded till the second floor or something So can we go to the next slide? So as you can see how deadly the Kerala floods was so about 483 people died in Kerala floods and we had an estimated loss of about 14,000 crores to our economy next slide, please So these are some of the pictures which capture capture the gravity of the exact situation during Kerala Kerala floods which happened during the time and it was the worst floods which had happened in the past hundred years in Kerala next slide so This is the official website which was used for rescuing and the good thing is it was Endearly open source and it was developed by a set of coming a set of open source contributors who are mainly students So there were various features like the the people could rescue for people could ask for request like Request for help like people could ask for food items people could ask for rescuing by Airplanes or something and all this were coordinated by this website and government was using this data There was missing persons feature so that people could find if they were there then all the relief camps we had about 5500 plus relief camps which was run solely by the government and also More relief camps which were run by private parties like schools colleges, etc So all these relief camps were coordinated in the site then there were So Kerala says state with 16 districts So all the districts the collectors requested the needs of that places through this thing so that people could contribute Contribute like this and you could have registered as a volunteer or something then there was a maps feature So this maps me what this maps feature did was like you could see where the people were stranded exactly So for example, if you I am actually a person living in a place called Kochi So if I wanted to rescue someone which is nearby my locality, I can go myself So almost actually government didn't do all the rescue actually Fisherman did the rescue people like us local people did the rescue So this website helped in understanding where the people needed rescue and Registered request you can so this is also So government would not be able to provide all the time the requested requested help so What people did was local people came there came to places give food item give toiletries and all those things next slide, please so I'll just Say a bit a bit about this. So you've got about 60 seconds. Okay, so we started in So we started in August 11th during that time the floods was not so severe So a set of volunteers developed the initial site in August 11 Then the situation got worse and Kerala government tried to make a site But since I terribly since already said a set of open source of contributors had already made the site So government of Kerala decided to make this as official platform next slide, please So this was the initial slate. So this was how the website was in August 11th And you can check the current website for how it is Next slide, please. So this is the exact scale of how Kerala rescue operated We had about 15,000 requests for help and all the Individual people didn't apply families applied for them So maybe about 10 lakh or 20,000 people were covered. We had 5,500 We've come to say it to say it next slide, please. Okay, you're at time But if the next speaker is not here and see a problem that running is capital chattery really not in the room We're not okay So this is Biswas who is the lead developer of Kerala rescue. So he said this is a famous it Talk which he gave gave in Python India. So Python and open source rescued Kerala during this During the deadly floods. So he will be giving a talk talk regarding this in International Python in US. So if you are there go and say hi to him next slide So this is the entire team which worked on there are some or there are not some open source contributors there because we had a variety of people like from people from Finland people from Australia all contributing to this project. So there were a set of government workers in our team We had a bunch of students. We had a bunch of American enterprise entrepreneurs who came just for this and who helped us during this flood Next slide Is one of the front row, please and this is the last link if you want to read the blog about What it is you can read at the eye of the flood which is an article written about Kerala rescue.in and You can also see the YouTube video in which Biswas gave a lightning talk in Python India.
