Design and Development of an Emergency Alert Mobile Applicat
To design and develop a mobile application system predefined emergency contacts in case of a criminal emergence
The participation of citizens in the response activities for managing a critical situation could represent a helpful support for emergency operators. Citizens could be directly involved both as victims or witnesses and thus be aware of updated information useful for decision making purposes. As stated by Sutton tweets shared during an emergency come mainly from witnesses that are not directly affected by the situation, but the content is still considered crucial. For this reason, emergency agencies and organizations have been proposing the development of social software forcollecting emergency notifications sent by citizens.
- Idea
The ELERTS app is valid just for hospitals or colleges to notify the
security department about a problem. Consequently, it can be used just
for small-scale events that do not require an immediate and urgent
solution
We ensure that personal data is automatically protected in any IT
system, service, product, and/or business practice, so that individuals
should not have to take any specific action to protect their privacy.
The information retrieved by the mobile application about the emergency
and user positions is much more accurate than the one EM operators can
retrieve by speaking directly with a citizen.
Once the application was correctly installed, users were individually conducted to the emergency site.the testers would use the application as witnesses of an emergency or to call for help directly for themselves. This result is quite different from the usability test , where a higher number of users would use it to report their testimony as witnesses of an emergency.
•Object-oriented Analysis and design methodology for designing
•Rapid Application Development (RAD) for development
•Android OS as a platform.
•Android OS as a platform.
Citizens should have been required to classify the kind of emergency
because they do have the adequate competences and because EM
operators can do it without particular efforts thanks to the information
received from the mobile system.
