COMRADES is creating an open‐source, community resilience platform, designed by communities, for communities, to help them reconnect, respond to, and recover from crisis situations.
The aim of COMRADES is to build a next generation platform to:
- Quickly filter the citizen reports as they arrive from social media and mobile texts
- Remove uninformative and irrelevant ones
- Point out unreliable sources
- Pick up, and alert to several lone messages requesting urgent help during a crisis
- Extract, group, and monitor unfolding emergency micro-events.
