AURORA Lifeline

AURORA Lifeline is a cyclone decision support tool that forecasts road access losses for district control rooms.

AURORA Lifeline translates official IMD cyclone bulletins and ensemble storm forecasts into district action plans. It models road flooding hour by hour across terrain data to identify which PHCs, hospitals, shelters, and villages lose road access to referral care. The system calculates closure probabilities and timelines across thousands of storm futures to help control rooms pre-position machinery. Gemini models read bulletins, draft advisories in English, Telugu, and Hindi, and process field data while code enforces strict numerical verification. It runs on Google Cloud with Google Maps Platform and Firebase Hosting.
