Social Media-Based Identifier for Natural Disaster

Abstract

This article proposes a conceptual framework design tool to implement Secure Place Locator (SPL) that can help the process of Disaster Management (DM) through utilizing social media, in which this software can inform disaster site and safe point for casualities evacuation in real time with Geographic Information System (GIS) aid. The discussion is limited to the system design, with design methodology tool as an adaptation of the model development System of Design Life Cycle (SDLC), which includes the following stages: problem identification and selection, initiation and planning, analysis, and design. The analysis of formulated design is expected to handle disaster evacuation quickly and appropriately, this device will have a significant impact in the evacuation process (recovery) of victims by discovering a safe point of evacuation in order that help is given on target and evenly. The benefit of SPL implementation is that SPL can map position, quantity, density, and incident in the disaster site, so that DM process can be performed quickly and accuratel
