This report aims to help people understand how new communication and information sharing technologies can enhance risk reduction and preparedness measures. The report offers recommendations for the implementation for new communication and information sharing technologies. In this report, special attention is drawn to the needs and preferences of individuals living in the relatively remote rural areas and those living in highly populated urban areas.

The study was conducted by Nanyang Technology University (NTU) in collaboration with the Global Disaster Preparedness Center with support from the USAID-Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance in response to GDPC's initiative of developing flood hazard preparedness mobile apps in the four target countries (Indonesia, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Vietnam).
