AppLERT: A mobile application for incident and disaster notification for Metro Manila
The Philippines is battered by different natural and man-made disasters. It cannot be disputed that despite its magnificent and natural beauty, the country suffers from these devastations. Although the government has set in mitigation and prevention plans, little is put into consideration when the disaster happens. The paper focuses on the application of Information Communications Technology (ICT) in a form of an android based mobile application that gives victims the capability to seek help when a disaster or incident strikes. In addition, people can notify others of the danger ahead through AppLERT and Facebook so that they can avoid the area where the danger is through crowdsourcing. It seeks to help expedite the response time of the responding unit using the user's mobile phone built-in GPS.
