Description To improve user experience, we should implement real-time updates for community resources (e.g., food pantries, menstrual products) using WebSockets. This will allow users to see live changes in resource availability on the map without refreshing the page.

Proposed Solution Set up a WebSocket server using Socket.IO. Broadcast updates from the server when a resource's status changes. Modify the frontend to listen for WebSocket events and dynamically update the UI.

Benefits Enhances user engagement. Provides up-to-date information seamlessly.
