These instances highlighted the need for a comprehensive solution.

It could involve the development of a comprehensive and self sustaining disaster relief app / website that connects flood victims with essential resources such as shelter, food, and medical aid. This app could also provide a platform for donors to easily contribute funds, supplies, and volunteer support, medical assiatnce. Collaborative efforts between government agencies, NGOs, and private sector entities can further enhance the efficiency of these solutions, fostering a resilient and supportive environment for flood victims and donors alike.
