        <problem_statement>In many regions, individuals prepare for disasters by building shelters, storing supplies, or owning backup power sources — but this information stays private. During real emergencies, this lack of transparency means potential life-saving resources remain unused.&#13;
&#13;
At the same time, most communities have no clear local resilience overview:&#13;
Where are safe shelters nearby?&#13;
Who has access to generators or medical kits?&#13;
How can we coordinate help before chaos hits?&#13;
&#13;
There’s no unified, privacy-respecting system to map or connect community preparedness assets.</problem_statement>

        <solution_proposal><![CDATA[<h2><strong>How do you envision the ideal solution to this  problem?</strong></h2>
<p> </p>
<h3>Which ServiceNow products or capabilities would be used?</h3>
<p></p><p>App Engine Studio – to create registration and asset management interfaces.</p>
<p>Flow Designer – for automated emergency notifications or data anonymization.</p>
<p>Now Experience UI Builder – for the “Resilience Map” dashboard.</p>
<p>IntegrationHub – to integrate with public safety or GIS APIs.</p>
<p>Performance Analytics – to visualize preparedness coverage across regions.</p>
<p> </p>
<hr style="border-top: 3px solid #bbb;" />
<h3>Are there any technical dependencies for the proposed solution?</h3>
<p></p><p>Mapping API (e.g., Google Map) for location clustering.</p>
<p>Optional integration with municipal emergency management systems.</p>
<p>Secure identity and role-based access control to manage data visibility.</p>
<p> </p>
<hr style="border-top: 3px solid #bbb;" />
<h3>What challenges would you foresee in implementing this idea?</h3>
<p></p><p>Privacy and data sensitivity around personal shelters and resources.</p>
<p>Verification of users claiming to have certain assets or capabilities.</p>
<p>Balancing anonymity with usefulness in real emergencies.</p>
<p>Building community trust to encourage participation.</p>
<p>Making the information available offline in case of a power outage and internet shutdown.</p>]]></solution_proposal>
