Open-source, mobile-first environmental dashboard engineered to crowdsource bridge flooding alerts and monitor alternative water utility networks across the Mbale region, Uganda
# EcoTrack Mbale 🏔️⚠️
An open-source, mobile-responsive environmental monitoring dashboard engineered to streamline climate-crisis response, early-warning alerts, and infrastructure monitoring across the disaster-prone Mount Elgon region in Mbale, Uganda.
## 📌 Project Origin & Governance
* **Initiator & Project Director:** Byamugenzi Salaha (President, Rotaract Club of IUIU-MC, 2026-2027)
* **Engineering Incubator:** Developed collaboratively by the student technical committee of the **Rotaract Club of Islamic University in Uganda (IUIU) Main Campus**.
* **Oversight Framework:** Co-managed alongside our local Mother Rotary Club to guarantee institutional continuity across consecutive leadership transitions.

## 🛠️ Project Technical Scope
To ensure low-bandwidth compatibility for field volunteers using mobile phones in cliff communities, the platform decouples UI layouts from deep server-side data processing:
- **Frontend & UI/UX:** Responsive mobile-first interface layouts utilizing CSS Flexbox/Grid, semantic HTML5 markup, and interactive layout mapping templates.
- **Backend Architecture:** Relational cloud database endpoints and automated data handling logic developed collaboratively by our club's advanced software engineering cohort.
- **Core Automation Logic:** Python scripts designed to parse regional hydrological alerts and log systemic data metrics.

## 🚀 Active Project Core Modules
### 1. Transit Risk Bridge Cross-Checking Protocol
- **The Vision:** Maps dangerous, low-lying river crossings during flash flood events to prevent vehicles from being washed off roads.
- **The Execution:** Field volunteers select qualitative river flows via responsive mobile viewports, instantly flashing map markers red to alert local transport networks.
### 2. Climate Decoupling & Water Utility Monitor
- **The Vision:** Tracks the availability of clean water when heavy siltation shuts down the main municipal water grid.
- **The Execution:** A public dashboard disp …
