Abstract :
Mobile Technology plays significant
contributions to the humanity in many areas. One of these
is on the issues on Disaster Risk Reduction Management
through developments of mobile applications. This study
primarily aims to design, develop and test the Hazard
Safety Tips Mobile Application in Waray-waray dialect.
This study is conducted to help the residents of Salcedo,
Eastern Samar become more aware of how they will be
able to manage their safety in times of calamities and
disaster through the aid of this application. Waterfall
model is used as System Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
which includes the following phases: Requirement
Definition, System and Software Design, Implementation
and Unit Testing, Integration and System Testing and
Operation and Maintenance. The researchers gathered
data in the Municipal Disaster Risk Management Office
and its website which served as inputs in the development
of the application. Flowcharts and data flow diagrams
were created for the designing of the application. User
interfaces were designed and developed using Android
Studio. The application had undergone three testing
strategies: Benchmark, Alpha and Beta Tests using ISO
scorecard. Results showed that in terms of usability, the
application scored 88.75, which is above average. This
means that the developed application was a great help in
terms of hazard and disaster preparedness to the residents
of Salcedo, Eastern Samar and the region as a whole. The
study concluded that the mobile application was effective
and functional because it conforms to the specified
requirements.
