Description

The REACT-HOA (Regional Early Warning and Action Communication Tool for the Horn of Africa) is a mobile application developed to enhance disaster awareness and management in the Horn of Africa region. It facilitates real-time communication between disaster managers and the public, allowing for the dissemination of alerts and the collection of field reports from volunteers.

Key Features:

- Real-Time Alerts: Receive up-to-date notifications on disaster risks and ongoing emergencies.

- Field Reporting: Enable users to submit reports and observations directly from the field, assisting in data collection and situational awareness.

- Public Awareness: Provide educational resources and information to the public to enhance preparedness and response strategies.

Developed by Tudlo Innovation Solutions Inc., REACT-HOA is available for Android devices and can be downloaded for free from various app stores.

The app is an initiative by the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) to bolster regional disaster resilience and sustainability. By leveraging mobile technology, REACT-HOA aims to improve communication and coordination during disasters, ultimately reducing their impact on communities in the Horn of Africa.
