Durango Mirador G. Labrador Samar State University Samar State University Abstract:- The occurrence of natural calamities and disasters becomes prevalent due to climate change. In Philippines, natural disaster incident increases annually and high vulnerability risk index (World Risk Report, 2016). In order to address these challenges, this study had been undertaken to mitigate the risk associated to natural disaster both life and property. Specifically, the study aims to develop real time mobile monitoring system with drone technology that will provide accurate information that currently occurring on the ground. The assessment of the system used under ISO 9126/ISO/IEC 25010. standard system evaluation and Kano’s Model in evaluating the developed system. Results show that the system Q-score is 2.06, 2.02 and 1.8 respectively. for Usability, Functionality and Reliability of the system. Likewise, its general grade rating is DQ. This result indicates positive users’ perspective about the system on its reliability, functionality, and usability. Keywords: Mobile Application, Android, Drone, Kano’s Model. I. INTRODUCTION It is undeniable that natural disaster occurrence worldwide is continually increasing due to climate change. In fact, in recent years devastating disasters occurred – the 2011 Japan earthquake, the 2010 Haiti Earthquake, the 2008 Cyclone Nargis, the 2004 Indian ocean tsunami, and the 2013 typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines are only some of the few examples. In the Philippines, a significant numbers of natural disaster usually occurs – typhoons, volcanic eruption, floods, landslide, and earthquakes becomes the usually scenario reported in all news media. With this, the country has been identified as one of the most disaster prone countries in the world. Based on the World Bank Report, 50.3 percent of it. total land area, and 81.3 percent of its population are vulnerable to natural hazards (World Bank, 2008). This information has been further affirmed by the World Risk Report where it revealed that the country’s risk index is at 26.70 making it as the third in the most disaster-prone countries globally (World Risk Report, 2016). Furthermore, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), out of an average of 80 typhoons the developed annually in the Pacific east coast, 19 of which enters in the Philippine region, and between six to nine make a landfall (Bushnell et al., 2018). Thus, the country has been considered as the most exposed country to tropical storms worldwide. In fact, the occurrence of typhoon Haiyan greatly devastated the eastern part of the country in 2013. And it has been said that the said storm can generate 10 times as much energy as the Hiroshima atomic bomb. Likewise, Philippine usually suffered also from an inexhaustible occurrence of deadly volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. This is also due to its location as part of the so called Ring of Fire (Bankoff, 2016).

This is also due to its location as part of the so called Ring of Fire (Bankoff, 2016). Indeed, disasters are becoming more complex and climate change poses a greater potential for adverse impacts. Recent events such as the super typhoon “Yolanda” that strikes down Samar and Leyte, in the Philippines four years ago left a huge impact to the lives and properties of the people. It is because people don’t have enough information and understanding of what the typhoon may bring. Also, it is because people have lack knowledge of what the typhoon is and preparation to undertake. Thus, the need to have a system that provides real-time information provides precautionary measures, safety provisions on real-time basis is very essential to undertake. In particular, this study intends to develop a real-time and mobile based application system that provides information on the current dynamics of certain calamity, provide notification and warning systems to resident of local communities, and give necessary directions and precautionary measures.

LITERATURE REVIEW Natural Disaster is the consequence of natural hazards such as cyclone, storm, earthquake, tsunami, flood, etc. This earth has already observed the vicious mode of nature which has taken millions of lives. The 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami, the 2010 Haiti earthquake, the 2008 cyclone Nargis, the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, the 1991 Bangladesh cyclone are some current examples of deadliest natural disasters. As such, since the occurrence of natural disaster is inevitable, therefore it is necessary to device a prevention
