BetaCommunity disaster coordination — offline-first, bottom-up, transparent.
Globaid is an offline-first PWA for community disaster coordination. It covers the critical first 72 hours with maps, aid requests, offers, and a transparent donation ledger.

Key Features
- Offline-first PWA — works with zero connectivity after first load
- AI triage via Claude API with local heuristic fallback
- Interactive map with live needs ranked by urgency and phase
- Transparent donation ledger tracing every euro end-to-end
- Progressive identity — no sign-up required to view the map
- Bilingual (EN/ES) with auto-detection and coordinator role system
About this project
Overview
Globaid is an open-source, offline-first Progressive Web App designed for community-led disaster response. Built for the critical first 72 hours when institutions are overwhelmed, it empowers neighbors to coordinate with neighbors — no internet required after initial load.
How It Works
The platform is a no-build PWA (plain HTML, CSS, ES Modules) that stores all data locally in IndexedDB, making it fully functional without connectivity. A lightweight Node.js server (server.mjs) handles local development, while production runs as a static deployment on Vercel. AI-powered triage (Claude API via a secure serverless proxy) categorizes aid requests by urgency, phase, and vulnerable-person flags — falling back gracefully to local heuristics when offline. Identity is progressive: viewing the map requires nothing; posting a need asks only for name + phone with OTP verification.
Use Cases
- Disaster response: During floods, earthquakes, or storms, affected communities can request help, offer resources, and coordinate deliveries entirely offline.
- Coordinator dashboards: Verified coordinators get zone overviews, phase anticipation tools, and can pin critical wall posts.
- Transparent donations: The Transparency Ledger traces every donation from donor → allied foundation → purchase → confirmed delivery — ResQ never holds funds.
- Peacetime community building: Multi-event and community contexts let neighborhoods build trust and vulnerable-person registries before disaster strikes.
- Bilingual deployment: Auto-detected EN/ES language with full triage support in both languages ensures inclusivity in multilingual regions.
