The rapid onset and unpredictable nature of disasters necessitate a quick, organized, and efficient response. This paper proposes a comprehensive disaster management platform that integrates real-time disaster information, weather forecasting, and resource management to enhance disaster preparedness and response. The platform collects disaster data from geophysical monitoring stations, processes the data for consistency, and stores it in a MongoDB database. Geospatial visualization tools, such as Folium, are employed to present disaster events on interactive maps, helping decision-makers assess the situation and respond accordingly. Additionally, the platform includes features for weather forecasting and resource management, allowing users to monitor conditions and contribute essential resources in real time. This research demonstrates how leveraging modern technologies can improve disaster management systems, providing a more effective and coordinated response to natural and man-made disasters.
