Mobile4D
Lutz Frommberger, Falko Schmid · 2013
Small and large-scale disasters are a major factor for poverty. When information is sent out at an early stage and directly to people affected, impact on environment, people, livestock, crop, and belongings can be minimized. We present Mobile4D, an integrated mobile crowdsourcing-based disaster alerting and reporting system tested in Lao PDR. With Mobile4D it is possible to gather information from affected people, to establish direct communication channels between affected people and administrative units, and to rapidly distribute information to regions and people struck by disasters.
