A proximity aware android SOS application in times of pandemic

Our globe is being impacted by a variety of calamities, some of which are natural and others which are manmade. The past decades have witnessed the occurrence of many types of natural and man-made disasters like Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Wildfires, EBOLA outbreak and currently COVID-19. These disasters have been claiming a lot of lives and in fact the number is very huge. Some lives could be saved if there is a better and faster aid in terms of help or immediate response from the officials or people nearby. Natural disasters cannot be controlled by humans but the number of deaths in other types of disasters could be controlled by us. Mainly, due to EBOLA and COVID-19 many people lost their lives because of lack of immediate support and aid. More than 10,000 deaths were accounted for by the EBOLA outbreak and now due to COVID-19, one of the most destructive viruses that ever lived on the earth, recorded figures much higher than that of EBOLA, nearly 3.17 million people left this world as of now. Now in this pandemic situation many are losing their lives because of the scarcity in medical equipment and also no proper transportation especially ambulance service. To overcome this situation this application supports the person who needs help by sending emergency alerts to the surrounding people for seeking help. This SOS application is capable of saving many lives through which an immediate aid and support can be obtained from the nearby people.
