The emergency case reporting and finding the shortest path to incident place is developed in this paper. The emergency never comes with prior information. Therefore, how to report the authorize agency in time becomes an important factor in developing countries. And the proposed system is to overcome common problem of having manual intervention while reporting emergency case by location-based services. As a result we can maximize the ability to respond the hazard incidents. The system works on the principles of client-server system: submitting the emergency case, shortest route calculation, and reporting it to the relevant agency. The users involved in an emergency situation can also retrieve the shortest path to the agency, e.g. a hospital. The Sever is implemented as a Web Based Java Application. The shortest path is searched by the Dijkstra’s Algorithm and displayed it on Google maps in appropriate scaling. Location Coordinates and messages will send on each request by Android Application. For creating the vector map for shortest route, QGIS (Quantum Geographical Information System) is used as GIS Tool. Based on the integration of Web Services, XML and PostgreSQL for Spatial Network Database (SNDB), the optimal routes from location of authorized agency to incidents site was developed. Moreover, it can support the collection and statistical presentation of emergency and accident data for further analysis.
