SlideSolutions has received the following awards and nominations. Way to go!
Introduction
Landslides are one of the common hazard inhilly terrains causing massive damage to life and property. We came up with an app “Slides NearME” thattransforms landslide data into understandable information for everyone. Our application combines observations send bythe users, with NASA landslide data, to generate regularly updated landsliderisk maps for an area. Thus, individuals and disaster managers will be better prepared toreduce landslide risk, and build a resilient community!
Explanation
Direct Stakeholders: The general public;living in landslide vulnerable areas and emergency management teams (local,national or international).
Potential Stakeholders: Government(Disaster Management Authority), United NationsOffice for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR), International Consortium ForLandslides (ICL), Asia Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) and academia.
Innovation: Integrationof mobile and web-based desktop application for our target users, incorporatingcrowd-sourced observations and system generated updated landslide risk mapsalong with preparedness guidelines for the users.
Impact: The riskmap benefits directly to the community and the emergency system with an overallimpact guiding towards better preparedness and reduction of landslide risks.
