Abstract
State-of-the-art smart phones and mobile devices, today’s highly interconnected urban population is increasingly dependent on these applications to organize and plan their daily lives. These applications often rely on current locations of individual users or a group of users to provide the desired service. The aim of this concept is to locate the volunteers in a peer group who were involved in disaster relief process and schedule meeting accordingly that coordinators of the process can effectively allocate the volunteers in order to serve the overall relief process efficiently. The location of the individuals are tracked using GPS in smart phones and it gets updated in the Server. Based on the location of the volunteers, common place is identified using the Google maps and the distance is calculated using Google API to get a centralized place were the meeting can be carried out in order to distribute the relief funds and allocate volunteers effectively to serve the nearest affected zones. The meeting details would be intimated to the group through this application, so by this way it is advantageous in order to reduce time. © 2016, International Journal of Pharmacy and Technology.
