Could you build this?
Partial The ZIP-to-resource search flow is simple to build, but useful coverage across US counties depends on a curated, continuously maintained dataset of local disaster-recovery resources.
What it would actually take: The app is a standard search-and-filter front end over a structured resource database keyed by county and category, with geocoding from ZIP to county via Census data. The hard part is sourcing and verifying local listings for every county (food banks, cleanup, financial aid), which requires partnerships with local agencies, FEMA and 211 data where available, and regular verification. Operating it during an active disaster also needs reliability and accuracy standards.
