Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Arturo, a Venezuelan developer. After the 2026 earthquake sequence hit Venezuela, I built CIVIS: a free citizen platform with no institutional funding, now covering:
🔍 A missing-persons registry that became the country's de facto one (tens of thousands of records)
🏠 A live shelter and aid-point map, built on Esri's ArcGIS platform, including a 3D damage map of affected buildings
🏥 Digitized hospital patient records from the earthquake response
📡 A real-time seismic radar visualizing the aftershock sequence as it unfolds
🌧️ NEW: a flood and landslide early-warning system, combining NASA's open LHASA landslide model with live rainfall forecasting, since floods/landslides actually kill more Venezuelans most years than any single earthquake
Everything is free, ad-free, and runs without institutional backing, mostly public data (NASA, Esri, open weather data) stitched together by one person. Currently building an SMS/WhatsApp relay so the warnings reach rural communities without reliable internet too.
Would love feedback from this community, especially on the offline/low-connectivity side, that's the hardest unsolved part.
Report
Una idea: agregar un botón para compartir la ubicación exacta vía WhatsApp o SMS, así cualquier familiar con un celular básico puede recibir coordenadas aunque no tenga la app instalada. Sería un salvavidas para abuelitos o personas en zonas rurales sin datos.

@alperen397545 Love this, and good news: it's already there! We have an "Emergency Circle" feature: when someone hits SOS, the server automatically messages their registered contacts via WhatsApp with the live location, no app install needed on their end, just a WhatsApp message with a map link. Exactly built for the "grandparent with a basic phone" case you're describing. Thanks for flagging it, it tells me it's a real, obvious need.
Report
Sería genial que integraran un botón de "estado de batería" compartido, así cuando alguien reporta desde el celular con poca carga, los voluntarios saben que ese reporte es urgente y temporal, priorizando esos casos en el mapa antes de que el dispositivo se apague.

@veyseljstf This one's already live too! Every SOS check-in ("latido") reports battery level alongside heart rate and movement, and operators see it right in the report view (🔋 XX%) precisely to flag "this device is about to die, prioritize now." Great instinct, glad it matched what we built.

Sería genial que añadieran un botón para compartir la ubicación exacta por WhatsApp con un solo toque, así alguien con poca señal puede avisar a su familia rápido sin tener que copiar y pegar coordenadas.

@abdulkadirc80x Same as I just told Alperen below, this exists! SOS triggers an automatic WhatsApp message with live location to emergency contacts, no app needed to receive it, just WhatsApp. One-tap on the sender's side too. Appreciate you calling out exactly the right problem.
