Minutis RedCall

This Red Cross project concerns volunteers that do social activities (roams, emergency night shelters...) and those who do first aid. As volunteers can be located anywhere in Paris (or elsewhere), tools are required to synchronize people as fast as possible when criticial situations occur.

RedCall.io is a messaging tool for head of emergencies. They use it to ask for volunteer's availability, gather volunteer's answers, and fill up ambulances or assistance units with the required people and skills.

This project was initially developed by the BlaBlaCar team as part of a Coding Night event, check out more details on that medium blog post . It is now maintained and supported by the Minutis team by French Red Cross volunteers.

Development

This project runs in PHP 7 with the Symfony 5 framework. It requires a MySQL or MariaDB database and Yarn for assets management. Frontend is built with jQuery 3 and Bootstrap 3.

This project runs on Docker for development purposes. Many tools have been developed to disable or mock external providers, so you can get ready to work in a few seconds.
