Mobile application for rapid disaster victim assessment

Indonesia is one of the countries with the highest risk of natural disaster in the world. Therefore, Indonesia needs a disaster management method to minimize the number of casualties on any natural disasters happened in the country. This research developed a mobile application to record the medical conditions of natural disaster´s victim on the android platform. The data gathered will be sent to the server via HTTP Post Protocol when the network connectivity is available. The data is sent in the form of XML files and image format. When the network connectivity is unavailable, the data will be stored within android device. The data stored in android devices can be displayed, changed, and deleted by the user of the application. Overall, the mobile application developed has functioned properly. It is expected that with this application the natural disaster response team can get the adequate information of the situation in disaster field more quickly and clearly so that the medical treatment and evacuation strategy can be determined more effectively and efficiently.
