Abstract—After disasters and emergencies, the absence of a formal platform for communication between the needy and the providers of relief usually creates a delay in response and poor utilization of resources. In order to overcome the dire gap, we offer Resource Connect, a mobile application based on Android operating and developed using Kotlin framework that ensures communication between users, relief agencies, and administrators. The system allows users to register, request for support, follow the status of their questions, and contact available Relief agencies directly. At the same time, relief agencies can log in and view user requests and alter statuses, while the administrator deals with the agency records and offers a seamless workflow. Unlike the existing relief management systems where communication is in pieces and manual, Resource Connect incorporates a central interface, user-friendly, role based access and secured login. This systematic way increases clarity, avoids miscommunication, and reduces the response time. It includes a modular architecture with such components as user, agency, and admin, with a backend system and MySQL and PHP. It was created after the agile methodologies and tested in such stages as unit, integration, and system testing. The solution that is being proposed helps in the field of disaster and emergency management as it presents an easy digital platform that enhances coordination and accountability in relief operations. Possible future improvements may be AI- powered request prioritization, real-time tracking, integration into governmental databases, multilingual support. On the whole the Resource Connect is a scalable and efficient solution to modernize the humanitarian aid management.
