Abstract:
Several calamities have already been observed here in the Philippines. With its
geographic location, it is not surprising that the country has been considered as
one of the most disaster-prone in the world. In times of these disasters, that come
unpredictably, alertness and preparedness of the people is important as these could
prevent possible damages and save lives.
With the advent of modern technological tools and gadgets such as smartphones,
with its advanced computing ability and connectivity, it is not impossible to cre-
ate a mobile early warning system and quick monitoring for these kinds of disaster.
In this project, we propose a system called Mobi-MAPP, a mobile application
for quick alert and monitoring of disasters. Here, Mobi-MAPP users can send
their reports on a particular disaster situation through the application. Also, data
from di erent concerned local and national agencies are gathered. These data will
then be quickly re
ected on the Mobi-MAPPs interactive map which will display
di erent disaster information across the country. Mobi-MAPP also provides an
alert system wherein users are noti ed of nearby disaster. Mobi-MAPP also pro-
vides a means in which national disaster risk reduction and management units can
share disaster information and activate disaster response to a ected areas.
