 Environment for Romania: 
A management system for volunteers and resources in case of an earthquake

 Solution is live 

Immediately after an earthquake, everyone's main concern will be to save as many lives as possible. Beyond the support provided by the authorities, not all NGOs are aware when and how they can join in the help effort, and the status of emergency supplies might be unclear, incomplete or out of date. Resource & Volunteer Management (RVM) is a tool for managing volunteers and resources made available by civil society to the Department of Emergency Situations in the event of a major earthquake or other natural disaster. The app allows the management of stocks of available resources, their quantity, types of materials and storage, as well as the status of volunteers organized according to their skills and specializations.

Solution adopted by The World Bank

Administered by: The Department for Emergency Situations (DSU)

Having such an app is a dream, there are few countries that have this and it is a welcome thing for any intervention coordinator. It will be very helpful, I thank those who contributed to its development.

Source Code

All code written by the Code for Romania community is open-source. We aim to build, contribute to and encourage the development of Romania's code library to increase the quality of software solutions in the public space and beyond. Open source development increases the quality of the digital infrastructure built by digital actors, reduces costs by reusing code in different contexts, increases transparency, eliminates reliance on single providers and encourages the strengthening of contributor communities among specialists who can report errors or improve components and functionality.
