AlertQC: A Web and Mobile Disaster Utility and Incident Report Management System for Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office

Abstract

Quezon City is highly urbanized, it is both large and vast, covering one-third of the total land area of Metro Manila. It boasts a rapidly growing income and occupation for its population, the city with the most people. With the Philippines situated along the Pacific Ring of Fire and the path of the Typhoon Belt, this makes it susceptible to many natural disasters, not just storms and earthquakes. These disasters include floods, landslides, and volcanic eruptions, sometimes these disasters happen consequently or much worse, altogether. The creation of a disaster management system is vital to aid the people of Quezon City. In this study the researchers have developed an Incident Management System for the Quezon City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, named AlertQC.
