Development of Location-based Emergency Mobile Application during Disaster with Haversine Formula and QGIS

Emergency cases in disasters are problems that must be handled quickly because they involve the safety of someone's life. This study aims to produce a mobile application that can be useful for evacuation, search, and rescue in emergency cases. The application we produce is useful for finding the nearest distance to emergency services, such as: hospitals, police stations, and other emergency assistance. This closest distance is calculated using the Haversine formula, which takes into account the longitude and latitude coordinates between two locations. The coordinates of a location are generated from map data from Google Maps and Quantum Geographical Information System (QGIS). There are six main modules in this mobile application, namely: Share Location, Nearest Hospital, Nearest Police, Emergency Call, Follow Me, and About Me. The test results of this application show that the Haversine formula calculation is in accordance with the distance indicated by Google Maps. This study still needs improvement in terms of determining the optimal route that is integrated with other methods, as well as the addition of features such as emergency alerts and warnings.
