An online calamity map has been launched in the Philippines by the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s ICT Management Service (DSWD-ICTMS). This map aims to strengthen the coordination among various government and humanitarian agencies during relief efforts. The map provides decision makers a visualized report on the disaster-struck population and location of various evacuation centres. The reports generated by DSWD-Disaster Response Operations Monitoring and Information Office (DROMIO) on the population and location of provinces/municipalities/cities, and how many of them are affected by the disaster can also be obtained from the map. The map also provides information on the status of each evacuation centre, the number of occupants, and the number of people that can be accommodated in each of these centres. Every time if there is a disaster, the map gets activated and sustains to be in the active state till all the evacuation centres have been filled. DSWD-ICTMS has envisioned to further strengthen the disaster reporting system by leveraging on social media applications to crowd source information vital for primary responders.
