6 Mobile app

Our vision is to deliver on the UN’s goal to have everyone protected by an early warning system. Many EWSes are outdated or out of commission. Others only focus on a single hazard, whereas now we need a multi-hazard EWS. Finally, messaging for many EWSes are often too generic to be useful. What people need is a personalized EWS.

A mobile application is used to mediate the network connection for devices in remote areas. It is also used to deliver alerts to users. Using the device as an alert delivery mechanism ensures users have the device installed and able to act as a data transport for devices. Finally, the mobile app also provides a vehicle for users to provide feedback and information back to public officials.
