Flood, disaster and emergency-response tools for one of the most climate-exposed countries on earth. These projects matter most when they work offline-first, and that is exactly how the strongest ones are built — connectivity dies exactly when you need help most. Given the stakes, we track whether each project's data feeds and app-store listings are live: a crisis tool that 404s helps no one. Everything here is born from real Bangladeshi events, from annual haor flooding to the July 2024 internet shutdown.
NongorOffline-first flood SOS and crisis companion for Bangladesh: works when the network doesn't, which is the only moment it matters. Built for the annual flooding reality of the delta rather than adapted to it afterwards.MITee list
mukto-meshCommunity mesh-network hub born from the July 2024 internet shutdown — when the national network goes dark, neighbourhoods can still talk to each other. A direct engineering response to a specific event in Bangladesh's history.MITee list
ResQ_BangladeshOffline-first disaster response PWA — installable from the browser, no app store required, and functional without connectivity for reporting and coordinating during emergencies.⚠ No licence fileee list
HaorFloodAlertMachine-learning flood prediction for the haor region — the low-lying Sylhet basin that floods first and hardest most years. Focused local forecasting instead of a generic global model.MITBD-based
Durjog Bondhu (দুর্যোগ বন্ধু)Offline-first Bangla disaster-prep PWA: cyclone signal explainer, hazard guides, offline shelter finder, kit checklist and one-tap SOS SMS.MITBD-based
Aabhas — Flood Outlook for BangladeshStation-level 24/48/72-hour probabilistic flood outlook for Bangladesh, with a leakage-aware ML pipeline, frozen model, live API and maps.MITBD-based
The philosophy of this whole section in one project: assume the network is gone, then build the tool. An SOS companion that treats offline as the normal case is the only kind that actually works during a Bangladeshi flood, when towers are down and data networks collapse under load exactly when people need to signal for help.
The July 2024 shutdown proved that connectivity itself can become a casualty. A community mesh hub lets a neighbourhood route around a national blackout — a resilience layer that had few open-source implementations tuned for Bangladesh before this.
