Synopsis:	'''Highlights of this scientific paper ''(not a guideline)'' ''' * Assessed the current state of 33 freely available disaster-related mobile apps in India. * Most of the disaster-related mobile apps are found to be primarily educational apps. * The outreach of current disaster-related apps in India is found to be highly limited. * Specific suggestions for enhancing community outreach are discussed. * Key challenges for operationalizing app-based crowdsourcing are also discussed. '''Abstract''' * The lack of real-time data on emergent disasters often restrains the decision maker's ability to counter its impacts, especially in developing countries like India. * In this regard, the idea of leveraging mobile applications ‘apps’ for crowdsourcing disaster-related information has recently gained high prominence. * To operationalize app-based crowdsourcing, this paper methodically investigates the current state of 33 freely-accessible disaster-related mobile apps in India. * The study finds that majority of these apps are primarily educational, and their overall outreach is highly limited. * It concludes with specific suggestions for enhancing community outreach, ensuring user-friendly interface and promoting Global Positioning System ‘GPS’ based apps.
