Abstract
This paper presents the development of a Web-based Accommodation Allocation System (WAAS) designed to efficiently and transparently match flood victims with available temporary housing resources. Current disaster response efforts often struggle with manual, chaotic, and slow processes for housing assignment, leading to delays and inefficient resource utilization. The WAAS utilizes modern web technologies (e.g., cloud hosting, responsive design, and database management) to create a centralized, real-time platform. The system allows authorized relief agencies to rapidly input and manage available housing options (shelters, vacant properties, host families) while simultaneously registering and categorizing victims based on their immediate needs, family size, and specific vulnerabilities. A core algorithmic component ensures optimal, rule-based matching, prioritizing the most vulnerable populations and minimizing relocation time. The implementation demonstrates a significant improvement in the speed, accuracy, and accountability of post-disaster accommodation management, offering a critical tool for enhancing humanitarian aid logistics and victim support.
