Tsunami Zonal Marking Application using Google Application Protocol Interface

Abstract

Tsunami Zonal Marking application is part of a project aims to create an integrated application to conduct tsunami evacuation and mitigation process. This integrated application called INTERGIS consists of three main parts or modules, which are back-end, front-end and interoperability modules. Tsunami zonal marking back-end module is a web-based application used by authoritative users, such as Regional Disaster Management Agency and Disaster Operational Control Centre officer, to marking the tsunami impacted area as well as to pointing the assembly safe point in digital maps application. While the front-end module is an Android based application that can assist the user to reach the nearest safe assembly point when the tsunami disaster occurs. This application activated when it is triggered by BMKG's INATEWS tsunami early warning system. The Interoperability module is part of application that organize the data connection to BMKG's INATEWS and Google API web services. This paper explores more on back-end module that built on CodeIgniter PHP framework. This application has been developed and has successfully mapped tsunami zones in several areas of Bali. This app utilizes google Application Programming Interface (API) and can be used by SAR units from each district. The tsunami zone data and the assembly point will be supplied by the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of each district.
