How the portal works

Public help outside. Simple controls inside.

Visitors get fast rescue guidance. Approved admins, NGOs, and organisers get a private dashboard to review requests, publish updates, manage events, and ask supporters for help when it matters.

Requests arrive in one review inbox: NGOs, organisers, helpers, volunteers, live updates, and reports.
Approved teams get only the tools they need: events, helplines, guides, updates, or their own organisation work.
Broadcast urgent needs to opted-in supporters: events, helper calls, volunteer requests, and rescue updates.
