520 3 _a"The Philippines is highly prone to natural disasters, putting most of its population and geographical area at risk. With the gradual increase of urban and technological development, especially in the City of Manila, ensuring fast emergency response and safety for the citizens has become a challenge. Recognizing the need for more optimized and efficient emergency response, this study focused on building a mobile application called “AGAP” that allows individuals in distress to request emergency assistance from rescuers with just a single tap. The general objective of the application is to reduce emergency response time, optimize communication between rescuers and residents or bystanders, and provide real-time tracking of emergency incidents using global positioning system (GPS) technology. The mobile application was designed specifically for three users: residents or bystanders, rescuers, and admin. An interview was conducted to gather data about the current emergency report and response processes in the City of Manila. An Agile methodology was followed in the development and design process of the application. The functional suitability and usability of the mobile application were tested. In addition, a survey was conducted involving students, rescuers, and IT Professionals to evaluate the level of acceptability of the system based on different applicable criteria of ISO 25010. The results showed that the mobile application is “Highly Acceptable” to 30 respondents with a grand weighted mean of 3.69. Overall, this study created an alternative way to reduce emergency response time, provide real-time location of an emergency incident, and provide a much faster way for residents to ask for emergency assistance." -- Author's Abstract
