Abstract

 Public safety in cities involves situations such as accidents, harassment, emergencies, and other incidents where quick access to safety services can be important. This paper presents OrangeCity Shield—CityWatch: The Digital Guardian of Nagpur, a unified platform designed to bring essential citizen safety services into one application. The system provides features such as SOS alerts, live location sharing, emergency contacts, incident reporting, safe-route assistance, safety updates, and notifications. It also includes an operator dashboard for monitoring SOS requests, managing incident reports, viewing safety information, and publishing advisories. Location-based features use GPS and map services, while Supabase and PostgreSQL/PostGIS support authentication and data management. The platform is designed to provide citizens with a simple way to access safety-related services while supporting authorized operators in managing reported information.

Keywords
