Technology in Times of Disaster: An Indian Step towards Resource Management

Computer science is a very broad field of knowledge which knows no boundary and with every passing day it seems only legitimate that we consider it as the next stage of social and human evolution. However, evolution is only possible if the knowledge in hand can contribute towards prosperous development or somehow manages to mitigate any sort of impending negativity. In India, one of the major drawbacks, which affect not only the social but also the economical backbone of the country, are the natural and man-made disasters. In time of dire catastrophe one needs simple and cheap solutions rather than expensive alternatives. Keeping this in focus, the paper presents certain modified algorithms which, if implemented correctly and in time, can prove to be a real boon in time of disasters and catastrophes.
