Abstract: State Disaster Relief Fund (SDRF) is a fund created by the government of a country or a state within a countryto provide financial assistance and support for immediate relief and rehabilitation measures in the event ofnatural disasters or other calamities. One of the primary problems is the delayed response in allocating anddisbursing funds. Ineffective planning and coordination among various government agencies involved indisaster response can lead to inefficiencies. Poor coordination may result in overlapping efforts, resourcewastage, and a failure to address the most urgent needs. To address these problems, governments need toimplement efficient and transparent systems, prioritize disaster preparedness and mitigation efforts, and ensurethat relief funds are allocated based on the actual needs of affected communities rather than otherconsiderations. In response to these challenges, the project has been developed to streamline the allocationprocess by offering real-time insights into fund distribution, allowing stakeholders to track and visualize theutilization of funds during different stages of disaster relief efforts. The dashboard promotes transparency byproviding clear guidelines for fund allocation and criteria, fostering public trust in the relief distribution process.Through an intuitive interface, the web dashboard facilitates coordination among government agencies andensures a targeted and efficient response to disaster-affected citizens. It serves as a vital tool in improvingdisaster management strategies, ensuring equitable relief, and enhancing overall preparedness for futurecalamities.
