MOBILE APP

DOWNLOAD FOR ANDROID

The DMS Himalaya app has three main components: 

• Go-Risk is a location-specific pre-disaster early-warning tool using grassroots measurement grids. The data parameters monitored through the app are specific for each hazard. The relevant authorities are alerted in case of a threshold breach (potential early warning).

• RNR-Comm is a relief and response information communication tool for post-disaster damage and needs assessment. It documents the age and gender-specific needs of disaster affected populations to facilitate rescue and relief operations.

• Emergency Contacts section offers the contact information of the nearest Control Room and local responders, who can help in coordination with local authorities, emergency relief and rescue operations.
