We developed an integrated framework with innovative solutions to deal with the combined effect of natural hazards and COVID-19, with the ability to increase disaster preparedness using early warning systems (EWS) and by assessing the humanitarian needs. It aims to provide services to communities and cities to protect themselves from multi-hazard risks and provide actionable information to reduce multi-hazard impacts.
The main innovation is the combination of all the emergency management services in the context of the recent changes due to COVID-19 considering the local restrictions and measures taken in the area to prevent the spread of the virus while doing the precautionary actions to reduce the risk associated to other natural hazards, presenting the shelters location, shelters capacity and most suitable evacuation routes in real time, all this in one online interactive map.
