DisasterSquadBy GreenSavers (Annanda Almanzar, Ashley Hernandez, Ariana Ramirez)

Problem:

• Many teenagers are indifferent and don’t realize the severity of natural disasters and how they affect the global community

• Teenagers don’t know how to react or what they need when a natural disaster occurs

Solution:

• Create an exciting and interactive game where teenagers will obtain knowledge of natural disasters and what they need to overcome them

About DisasterSquad:

• User will be able to:

• Register and have their own account

• Choose a game (Lite version is Hurricane game only)

• Gain points by choosing objects to help them in the specific disaster simulation

• Access information of natural disasters that have occurred in the world within the last ten years

Our app:

Market:

• Teenagers in NYC (Nearly 2 million New Yorkers are under 18) through social media pages like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc.

• NYC Schools

• Teachers

• Red Cross and Relief Organizations

Financial Analysis:

• The initial, lite hurricane edition of the game is free, and will make money with advertisements

• From our research, this could amount to $400-$5,000/day

• Future games of different disasters will cost $.99 each

• Future sponsors like Red Cross and other relief organizations could also provide a source of revenue

Future Plans:

1. With future programing …

• Different games for each type of disaster

• Choice of an avatar

• More advanced game programming (Your avatar runs collecting materials while facing the aftermath of the disaster)

2. Outreach - DisasterSquad for other cities that have also encountered natural disasters to expand knowledge
