As part of its commitment to advancing disaster resilience, Globe featured a suite of digital solutions designed to enable inclusive and effective disaster management during the 2024 Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction (APMCDRR).
This year’s conference brought together over 4,000 representatives from governments, private sector, and civil society organizations, underscoring the urgent need for cooperation in tackling disaster risk and strengthening resilience in one of the most disaster-prone regions globally.
“Globe contributes to a safer, more resilient nation by leveraging technology to empower communities, government agencies, and local government units with the tools they need to respond swiftly and inclusively to disaster scenarios,” said KD Dizon, Head of Globe Business.
Globe’s suite of tools facilitates proactive disaster preparedness, helping organizations and local governments prepare communities well before disaster strikes. These include:
● Inquiro – A data analytics platform, Inquiro enables stakeholders to analyze high-risk areas by identifying patterns and trends from large data sets. This allows proactive planning and prioritized evacuation, ensuring that individuals in vulnerable zones are informed and prepared.
● M360 – A multi-channel messaging platform that supports remote collaboration and communication. M360 delivers alerts, notifications, and public awareness messages via SMS to a target population, helping public and private organizations prepare for emergencies. The platform supports community engagement by offering hotlines and chatbots, strengthening connectivity with residents during critical periods.
● Load Up – A prepaid load distribution platform, Load Up provides a secure and convenient way to disburse mobile load to personnel so they can stay connected. The platform also allows segmentation of contact groups, supports flexible scheduling, and provides detailed reporting and audit trail.
When disaster strikes, Globe ensures continued connectivity through rapidly deployable Emergency Base Stations. These units enable communication in affected areas, minimizing disruption, and enhancing situational awareness for impacted communities.
In the post-disaster phase when mobility is restricted, Globe supports recovery through KonsultaMD a telehealth platform that provides remote medical consultations, including mental health guidance.
The 2024 APMCDRR, hosted by the Philippines in collaboration with the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), served as Asia-Pacific’s primary platform to monitor progress on the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030.
