BharatBeacon was built at Code2Create 4.0 by ACM VIT, where our team won the Best First Year Team award. The project tackles disaster management across three phases: preemptive risk mitigation, mid-crisis response, and post-crisis recovery. It is an IoT-driven system where physical devices transmit distress signals to a centralised platform. I built the Government Portal: a real-time dashboard that visualised incoming distress calls as pinpoints on an interactive map powered by the MapBox API. To keep the interface current without a persistent connection, I implemented HTTP polling to continuously fetch the latest device signals and metadata. The portal gave authorities a live, geographic overview of active emergencies.
