2. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this project is to create an application that helps people to make
decisions in choosing a safe place for the construction of their home.
This application is oriented to low-income migrant populations who decide to settle in
a certain place. This application takes into account the risks of disasters that would
be exposed such as floods, landslides, avalanches, river overflows, recurrence of
earthquakes, etc. Crossing data on the type of existing soil, accessibility facilities and
the presence of existing equipment around that area.
It was a personal interest to be able to develop an application that helps in the
preventive management of disasters. In this way, we can spread a preventive culture
in the population and at the same time work collaboratively with some authorities in
obtaining relevant information for an optimal disaster risk management.
PROBLEMATIC
According to the UN there are 272 million migrants in the world. Peru receives
approximately 200,000 foreign migrants per year, and in Lima 2,800,000 people live
on the hillsides.
In the search for a better quality of life, there is the origin of these migratory
phenomena and a large percentage of these people either by necessity and / or
ignorance establish their housing in potentially risky places and that in the future
disasters could happen with possible material and human losses.
In the case of Peru, it is necessary to remain alert to any event, since the
geographical area in which it is located is prone to natural phenomena of different
types. INFORM (2018) reports that Peru is ranked 68th out of 191 countries
according to its vulnerability to risks present in natural disasters most likely to
happen, the most worrisome being earthquakes, floods, heavy rains, low
temperatures and droughts. In view of these warnings and the unfortunate events
that have been occurring in Peru, the authorities are seeking to develop policies,
strategies and actions to reduce the impact of natural phenomena.
GENERAL OBJECTIVE
To design a mobile application that provides easy-to-read information about the risks
of natural disasters in a given place and that contributes to people to make better
decisions when choosing a place to live.
3. TARGET PUBLIC
The target public is the low-income immigrant population that has decided to buy a
plot of land and build their home in the city to which they have migrated.
Governmental entities can use this information for the planning of improvement
programs and projects in their territory.
THE APP ALLINSITE
The app will use a GPS locator and when activated it will simultaneously show in a
color bar the percentage of risk presented by the selected location according to the
variables mentioned above.
The color bar will go from red, which represents the highest percentage of risk,
through yellow, to green, which represents the lowest percentage of risk.
Variables to be considered in the application:
● Landslides, (caused by rainy seasons, child phenomenon, etc).
● Floods (caused by the proximity to rivers).
● Earthquakes (according to the proximity of the area to the fire belt).
● Soil types (soil types influence the behavior in the event of a catastrophic
event such as earthquakes or landslides).
● Accessibility and health facilities (due to the proximity to roads and health
facilities).
Resources to be used for the app:
Data Nasa
Landslides (data and historical map of landslides in the world, this is data made by
the contributors themselves).

The ASTER Global Digital Elevation Model (GDEM) Version 3 (ASTGTM)
It provides a global digital elevation model (DEM) of land areas on Earth, which gives
us the location of streams and slopes of the world.
