Help.On

Spontaneous Volunteer Coordination System

This project developed a concept to coordinate spontaneous volunteers (SVs) in disaster response scenarios. While SVs provide essential support in crisis response, their lack of organization presents challenges for all involved. Help.On aims to strategically deploy SVs and ensure efficient cooperation with professionals through an informative and coordinating app paired with specially designed operational vests. The system offers a range of tools to guide volunteers through every step, from preparation to post-crisis support.
