🚨 RESCUE: Real-Time Emergency Victim-Agent Coordination App

RESCUE is a mobile app that connects people in distress with nearby volunteers (agents) in real time. Unlike centralized emergency services, RESCUE enables common citizens—who voluntarily register as agents—to provide immediate, localized assistance during emergencies. Built using Flutter and Node.js, the app focuses on hyperlocal response, speed, and secure communication.

🧩 Key Features

• 📍 Live Victim-Agent Tracking
  Real-time location sharing using Google Maps API for efficient coordination.

• 🛡️ Geo-Fenced Alerts
  Only agents within a 10km radius receive emergency alerts—enabling faster, localized response.

• 👥 Common Citizen Agents
  Any user can register as an agent through a secure OTP system via EmailJS—no government credentials required.

• 🔐 OTP-Based Agent Verification
  Ensures only verified individuals act as agents, adding a layer of security and trust.

• 💬 In-App Chat & Call
  Victims can communicate directly with agents through secure messaging and call features.

• ☁️ Robust Backend
  Powered by Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB Atlas, deployed on Render.

• 🔄 No Authentication Overhead
  The app is kept lightweight with no login/authentication needed for victims—ensuring speed during emergencies.
