This paper presents the development of the Flood Rescue and Recovery Management System, designed to address inefficiencies in current flood response methods, which often rely on slow manual coordination and limited data sharing. The study aims to develop a user-friendly web-based platform that streamlines flood information sharing, enhances accessibility and improves decision-making for rescue and recovery. Core functionalities encompass user-submitted help requests, real-time flood alerts, risk heatmap visualization, resource allocation based on risk scores, task management and a chat room for coordination. Built on Agile principles like rapid communication and flexible planning, this system tackles issues such as delayed responses and poor data sharing. While the tool has not yet been validated in real-world scenario, it simplifies coordination, increases community engagement and provides reliable data for stakeholders. This paper explains how the tool was built, its benefits, and how it can support faster and smarter flood response. Future work will focus on real-world deployment and user testing to validate its effectiveness.
