    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.
