SafeZone is an earthquake and tsunami disaster preperation and response web app designed to maximize survival rates in earthquake/tsunami disasters. 

Like performing at a middle school talent show, disaster preparedness has three parts that can fundamentally alter your life: before, during, and after.

Before: Unlike your creaky rendition of the macarena, Setting up  Safezone takes only about five minutes. It checks your location against the official tsunami hazard map of your area (for now the app only integrates the California Geological Survey in California, and Japan’s Hazard Map Portal and GSI’s designated evacuation sites in Japan.) Then it guides you to take  one photo per room. Meta’s SAM 3.1 outlines everyhing that could tip, fall or swing open. Then I throw it over to Muse Spark who works out how those objects endanger the people in the room, for example a wardrobe that could fall onto a bed. SafeZone’s own code then checks the model before anything becomes an instruction. Muse Spark also checks a photo of te go bag against Ready.gov’s 14-item kit. SafeZone plans a walking route out of the tsunami zone and checks it in code: it must end outside the official hazard area, on land, and never lead deeper in. It also lists shelters that fit the household, such as wheelchair access, pets or medical needs. Everything is saved on the phone, so it wors with no signal.

During: when the shaking starts, SafeZone says one thing out loud, “Drop, cover and hold on,” with where to take cover in that room. It never tells anyone to move while the ground is shaking.

After: once the shaking stops, it says to go now, on foot, without waiting for a warning. Then t talks the user out of the zone turn by turn from GPS and shows shelters that fit the family. I would love to expand this part further and do a full on database set up where it measures which relief centers people are heading to and helps make proactive overcrowding assesments / suggestions. 

But alas, maybe some other day...

Why all this matters: on Dec 5, 2024, about 5 million people got a tsunami warning that never said who was i the zone or where to go. Only 31% of US households have learned their evacuation routes (FEMA, 2023). Japan’s goernment estimates that if everyone evacuated within 10 minutes, deaths in its next great tsunami would fall by 70%. SafeZone gets a household prepared before the day comes.
