UP SDMA × Times of India — Disaster Data Platform
A single disaster-response data platform for the Uttar Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority, built with Times of India — replacing paper registers and scattered spreadsheets across 75+ districts with one real-time source of truth.
What they were facing.
When a disaster hits UP, every hour of delay costs. Yet the SDMA was running on paper registers, phone calls, and disconnected spreadsheets spread across dozens of districts. Information about affected people, damaged infrastructure, and relief distribution arrived late, duplicated, and impossible to see as one picture. The state needed district officials reporting into one structured system — fast, even from areas with barely any network.
How we solved it.
We built one platform for the entire data workflow: structured forms mapped to SDMA's exact reporting needs, role-based access for district and state officials, live dashboards tracking impact across every district, and one-click report generation for government review. Crucially, it works in the low-connectivity rural areas where disasters often strike — officials capture data offline and it syncs when a signal returns. Paper registers and ad-hoc spreadsheets gave way to a single, auditable digital trail.
Impact that matters.
“This changed how we collect and act on disaster data. What used to take days of manual compilation is now live — so we respond faster and send resources exactly where they're needed.”
