What did you build?

Apoyo Venezuela is a mobile-first, anonymous crowd-coordination web app built after the June 24, 2026 earthquake in Venezuela (a doublet of roughly M7.1 and M7.5). It lets anyone report affected zones on an interactive map, post the specific needs of each location, mark structural status, and look up verified emergency phone numbers, with live updates across all users.

Core features:

  • Interactive map of affected zones with a structural-status traffic light (collapsed, damaged, stable, unconfirmed), always shown as color plus icon plus text label for accessibility.
  • Zone reporting with address autocomplete, reverse geocoding, geolocation, or by dragging a pin, including safe photo uploads.
  • Needs per zone (rescue, water, food, medicine, shelter, and more) with a needed → on the way → covered lifecycle.
  • Verified emergency phone directory by state, with tap-to-call and the source of each number.
  • Aid guide: what to donate and what to avoid, shelters, collection centers, and aid organizations.
  • Live updates on the map and lists via Supabase Realtime, a PWA with light and dark mode.

Who is it for? Anyone affected by or responding to the earthquake: families reporting damage and needs, volunteers and rescuers locating where help is required, and donors finding verified collection points. No account or login is needed, and reports are anonymous by design.

How does it help? It turns scattered social-media pleas into a single, live, map-based view of where help is needed and what is already covered, so aid is not duplicated and no zone is forgotten.

What should people try first? Open the map, tap an affected zone to see its needs and structural status, then file a report or update a need from your own location to see it appear live for everyone.

Built with Next.js 16, React 19, strict TypeScript, Tailwind CSS v4, Leaflet + OpenStreetMap, and Supabase (Postgres + Realtime). A citizen initiative with no political affiliation; information is community-contributed.
