A Comprehensive Web Cloud Application for Dealing with Various Emergency Situations

Abstract

Disasters usually spread rapidly. Good instructions and efficient communication is essential as these are considered the main portion of the required response and can highly improve the public safety. This article proposes a comprehensive web cloud notification application that can handle various emergency situations. It sends real-time alerts and instructions to all the affected and needed people through their mobile phones and all computer screens within a given organization, no matter where they are (inside or outside the given organization). Moreover, these people do not necessarily have to have a mobile phone with a specific operating system, such as an Android smartphone as was much of the previous work. This is because the proposed system only requires any browser that runs on any device with any operating system including cell phones. The reason for this is that the proposed system is a cloud application, which means no installation is required to use it.
