Download Ping – Flood Disaster Management APK free

Ping is a mobile application that can be downloaded on Android phones. Its primary purpose is to provide a platform for the community to exchange information and spread awareness for the Kerala floods. It does that with a map. Users can mark information like floods, obstructions, hospitals, flood relief camps, and more on the map. They can also request for water, food, boat transportation, shelter, and emergency help.

Every year the state of Kerala in India comes across relentless and disastrous flooding during its monsoon season (around June to September). These floods are aggravated by climate change, poor communication regarding the opening of dams, and insufficient infrastructure. They result in severe damage to buildings and houses, loss of possessions, mass evacuation, separation of families, and many deaths.

Communication platforms such as WhatsApp and Facebook have allowed the people of inflicted communities to let others know of the location of floods, important news, the existence of resources, etc. However, this becomes problematic upon realizing what happens if a person is not in the right Whatsapp group chats or Facebook groups. Being in that situation can be disastrous if not deadly. That’s where Ping comes in. Ping provides one spot for all users to gain important information and seek required help.
