We have experienced the importance of the Public Volunteer Rescue Community during Floods and other natural disasters. In recent rescue operations like floods in Kerala, Mumbai, and Cyclone in Tamil Nadu, we have noticed social media has played a vital role in rescuing the victims, providing shelter for victims using Twitter, Instagram, Facebook. We have seen how the public community helps people during floods, they required support from technologies to operate during disasters efficiently. The social media trend has been increased day by day there are a lot of communities and groups provides help like collecting food items providing shelters, evacuation, the community has been active for twenty-four hours a day and participate in rescue operations whenever required, and few existing applications are developed in Japan due to the frequency of disasters happening there. Existing applications aim to provide disaster-related information to the people in their locality, which may reduce the panics in people, and they can find solutions based on information provided by the application, information can be provided vastly through the internet than people direct communication this will help people to take precautions. A survey was conducted based on the existing application, this paper will focus on how useful the application was and will point out the issues and drawbacks of existing applications.
