ReMemory EDU is a data-driven disaster awareness tool that helps students, researchers, and global citizens learn from the past to protect the future.
Built for the Code the Past Hackathon 2025 and expanded for Build-a-thon 2025, it decodes real EM-DAT disaster data (2000–2025) — turning it into clear visual insights, preparedness advice, and global recovery resources.
Whether a country has rich data or none at all, ReMemory ensures everyone receives verified guidance, resource links, and actionable next steps.
Global disasters are increasing — floods, droughts, and earthquakes are striking with greater frequency.
While working on humanitarian data projects, I noticed that public datasets like EM-DAT were underutilized by educators and policy students because they’re often complex, fragmented, or intimidating to explore.
ReMemory was inspired by the idea that data should educate, not overwhelm.
I wanted a tool that:
- Teaches preparedness through visual storytelling
- Makes resilience a learning topic, not just a response topic
- Bridges open data, education, and community action
- Frontend / Dashboard: Streamlit
- Data Visualization: Plotly Express
- Dataset Source: EM-DAT (2000–2025)
- Backend Logic: Python (Pandas, JSON utilities)
- Cloud Deployment: Streamlit Cloud
- Secrets Management: Streamlit Secrets (OpenAI Key placeholder for future AI summaries)
- Loads multiple EM-DAT CSVs from the
/datadirectory - Dynamically builds a global country list
- Displays disaster impact trends (2000–2025)
- Generates AI-ready preparedness briefs for any location
- Provides a verified directory of emergency contacts & global relief donation links
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Dynamic Country & Disaster Selector | Explore global or regional disaster trends easily |
| Interactive Charts | Visualize affected populations over time |
| Preparedness Briefs | Adaptive text that informs even when local data is missing |
| Response Network | Quick-access emergency numbers + donation links |
| Offline-Friendly Design | Works even without API calls |
| Educational Impact | Helps classrooms discuss resilience through data storytelling |
ReMemory EDU transforms historical data into learning.
It’s designed for students, educators, NGOs, and communities who want to build resilience awareness.
Even if a country has limited data, the app:
- Encourages donation and volunteerism
- Shares verified global emergency contacts
- Demonstrates how data transparency can save lives
