In a first-of-its-kind initiative, GeoHazards Society and Thales Foundation India on Tuesday launched a mobile application that can help generate a customised disaster management plan for every school in the country.
The School Safety App claims to be a one-of-its-kind in the world.
Sensing the absence of written disaster management modules in most schools, the application offers to automatically generate one for them when the details are properly filled in.

The application has a very basic user interface and can be used by school authorities with ease.
The application has 8 modules which have to be filled out, including the school’s layout, floor plans, mock drills conducted, hazards that have affected the school in the past and more.
