As I may have not described in this blog just yet, I will refer to Quick Disaster, a disaster mitigation application that have been developed a team consists of FMIPA UGM students which I also took participation in. In this era, development of technology became one potential that can be one benefit problems that are already absent in human's lives. At the same time, disasters in Indonesia are a concern because not many people has awareness regarding to what can occur. One way we want to collaborate this potential and problem is to develop an application to help us in this term anticipate and/or disaster mitigation. And we apply it through Quick Disaster - a project based on collaboration of Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) students; four Computer Science and one Geophysics students, our team.
"Quick Disaster” is a quick, simple and solutive application. That is supported by the fact that this is a visual and audio based application for Wearable Device (Google Glass). Every data needed is stored in the Quick Disaster application, The disaster data we possess is mostly from Deru UGM, BNPB, BPPTK and BMKG. Instead datas for international disasters, such as Tornado are perceived from disaster institutions from the United States. It is also integrated with Social Media and supported by Location Based Services using available GPS Sensor for some features.
The solution is delivered in three phases; pre, during and after the disaster. For the pre-disaster, the application can detect regions that have encountered disaster in the past. Therefore, the user can be informed with the disasters that happens near the user's location to increase the anticipation if a disaster occurred the area.
During the disaster, the application can give a solution that can be executed when the user faces the disaster. The disaster anticipation steps will include the solution for nine disasters, that is during volcanic eruption, landslide, tornado, earthquake, volcanic ash fall, flood, fire, typhoon and tsunami. It can also show the location including post evacuation areas nearby. After the disaster, the application can be integrated with Quick Disaster G+ Account to inform about disaster happening in the user's area, so it will enable people to immediately know the current condition in order to send logistical help more easily.
Past media appearance regarding to the project. At Koran Harian Jogja Hal. 15 in May 2014.
It was an honor for me to be a part of the team that can innovate for the betterment of the society through technology. It was also an honor for me that at the age of 18 my name was already published in prestigious medias such as Kompas, Suara Merdeka, Detik.com, etc. Including my University's web page. This just marks as a motivation to improve for the better and to be more impactful to my surroundings. :-)
You can observe deeper explanation about Quick Disaster in our submission for Code For Resilience Challenge Competition as well here. Comments and feedbacks are highly suggested in order to let us know what the society perceives about this developing project.
