This system is based on blockchain technology and it will enable the non-governmental organizations (NGO) and public institutions to manage and coordinate the resources in a trusted environment in the case of disasters. A proof of concept implementation is developed by using the Quorum blockchain framework which is more energy-efficient than crypto currency-based blockchain solutions. Smart contracts are developed for the autonomous working of the system. These smart contacts are used for the verification of the needs of the one who is in need, delivering resources to the right people, and identifying the urgent needs.

The application is shared with the free software license and further development with the community is aimed.
