This project aims to improve local data collection by introducing mobile applications and a webviewing platform to governments and communities. These tools allow decision makers to improve response, recovery and reconstruction efforts. At the national level SBT applications are introduced for governments to make national plans and quickly assess the damages in case of natural disaster
