# Product Requirements Document (PRD) ## Product Name **AegisFlood** – AI-Powered Flood Prediction & Community Alert System ## Document Owner Product Manager (PM) – Sudhan S ## Version v2.0 – Detailed Hackathon + Scale Plan --- ## 1. Vision & Goals **Vision:** To become India’s most reliable, hyperlocal, and community-driven flood prediction and alert system that saves lives, protects livelihoods, and empowers citizens and authorities. **Goals:** - Deliver short-term (1–3 day) accurate flood predictions. - Provide multi-channel alerts accessible in low-connectivity environments. - Foster trust via explainable AI and citizen engagement. - Scale from pilot (Assam/Bihar) to nationwide and later global expansion. - Create a data-driven ecosystem for disaster management stakeholders. --- ## 2. Target Users **Primary Users:** - Citizens in flood-prone regions (Assam, Bihar, metro flood hotspots). - Farmers requiring early warnings for crops and livestock. **Secondary Users:** - State Disaster Management Authorities (SDMAs, DDMAs). - NGOs and aid organizations. - Insurance and logistics companies. - Local panchayats/ward officials. --- ## 3. Key Features ### MVP (10-day Hackathon Build) - **Data Ingestion & Prediction:** Basic model using rainfall + river-level data. - **Alerts:** Automated SMS/WhatsApp (English + local language). - **Web Dashboard:** Risk map (color zones), rainfall summaries, river gauges. - **Admin Console:** Manage phone numbers, trigger alerts. ### Extended (2-month Build) - **Advanced Prediction:** - ML + hydrology hybrid models. - Dam discharge intelligence. - Satellite-driven flood extent mapping. - **Mobile App (React Native / PWA):** - Offline cache of maps + alerts. - Citizen reporting (text/photos). - **Interactive Gov/NGO Dashboard:** - Historical flood trends. - Citizen report overlays. - **Multi-Channel Alerts:** SMS, WhatsApp, IVR, push notifications. - **Explainable AI:** Confidence levels + key factors driving predictions. - **Crowdsourcing:** Incorporate citizen inputs into dashboards. --- ## 4. Functional Requirements ### Data & Prediction - FR1: Ingest rainfall/river-level/dam data from IMD, NWIC, NASA GPM. - FR2: Compute flood risk scores daily and update twice a day. - FR3: Handle region-level (district/village) predictions. ### Alerts - FR4: Generate alerts with area, risk level, timeframe, safety tips. - FR5: Multi-lingual alerts (Hindi, Assamese, Bengali). - FR6: Deliver via SMS/WhatsApp API (Twilio/open-source alternatives). ### Dashboard - FR7: Map layers: risk zones, rainfall, river gauges. - FR8: Search + filter by district/village. - FR9: Responsive UI for desktop/mobile. ### App (Extended) - FR10: Offline support (last synced alerts, cached maps). - FR11: User inputs: geotagged photos + comments. ### Administration - FR12: Contact list management. - FR13: Alert delivery logs & analytics. --- ## 5. Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) - **Performance:** End-to-end prediction + alert cycle < 15 minutes. - **Scalability:** Support 100k SMS/day initially; millions at scale. - **Reliability:** >99% uptime. - **Localization:** Support 5+ Indian languages. - **Security:** Encrypt PII; anonymize user data. - **Accessibility:** Low-bandwidth optimization. --- ## 6. System Architecture (High-Level) **Pipeline:** 1. **Data Sources:** IMD, CWC, NWIC, NASA GPM, DEM. 2. **ETL Layer:** Scheduled Python scripts, stored in PostgreSQL/PostGIS. 3. **Prediction Engine:** ML + hydrology hybrid → risk score. 4. **API Layer:** FastAPI serving risk forecasts. 5. **Frontend:** React (dashboard, PWA app). 6. **Alerting Service:** Twilio/WhatsApp/IVR. 7. **Admin Tools:** Web console. --- ## 7. Success Metrics **Hackathon (10 days):** - 90% alerts successfully delivered. - Latency < 10 minutes from forecast → SMS. - Pilot demo with 50–100 users. **Extended (2 months):** - > 75% prediction accuracy for 1–3 days. - > 60% user confirmation on alert receipt. - > 10 verified citizen reports/week. **Scale (6–12 months):** - Coverage: 5+ flood-prone states. - 500k+ registered users. - Partnerships with at least 2 state governments/NGOs. --- ## 8. Dependencies - Public datasets: IMD, CWC, NWIC, NASA. - APIs: Twilio/WhatsApp, SMS gateways. - Mapping: Leaflet.js, OpenStreetMap. - Cloud hosting: AWS/GCP/Azure credits. --- ## 9. Risks & Mitigations - **Data gaps:** Backup global datasets (NASA/NOAA). - **Poor telecom delivery:** IVR fallback, community radio integration. - **Low accuracy at start:** Use thresholds/heuristics, improve iteratively. - **Language/local adoption:** Partner with local NGOs. --- ## 10. Roadmap **Hackathon (10 Days):** - ETL pipeline + baseline model. - Flask/FastAPI backend + SMS integration. - React dashboard + prototype. **Phase 2 (2 Months):** - Advanced ML + hydrology. - Mobile app (offline + crowdsourcing). - Dam discharge + satellite mapping. **Phase 3 (6–12 Months):** - Multi-state rollout. - Partnerships with NDMA, NGOs, insurers. - Scaling to millions of users. --- ## 11. Appendix - Example alert templates (SMS, WhatsApp, IVR). - Architecture diagram. - Competitor matrix (Google FloodHub, CWC, NDMA, state portals). - Dataset catalog.
