Butuan: The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) will launch project Mobile Operational System for Emergency (Moses) which complements the operation of the project NOAH or Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazard. The department will pilot test Moses which will be done on the onset of the National Science and Technology week celebration on July 22 said DOST-Caraga Regional Director Dominga Mallonga during the recently held Regional Summit on Disaster Risk Reduction Management.
Moses uses mobile tablet computers designed by DOST for hazard monitoring and evacuation assistance. One thousand units of Moses tablets are ready for distribution to identified pilot areas for testing. The tablet computers will be used for fast transmission of disaster alerts or warnings. The device will provide localities with key information when a calamity strikes. |
