Descriptive analysis confirms that crowdsourced disaster mapping enhances response time and community engagement.
This study examines the implementation of an Early Warning System (EWS) for disaster mapping utilizing a web-based crowdsourcing approach, with a multidisciplinary focus on information technology, management, and education. From a management perspective, the system enhances decision-making, organizational coordination, and disaster governance through real-time reporting and structured workflows. The research employs a descriptive analysis method combined with system development and field observation. The developed system achieved a response time of less than 2 minutes for disaster reporting and successfully integrated 150 community reporters in the pilot area. From an educational perspective, the system functions as a medium for disaster literacy, enabling community-based learning and integration into Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) curricula. The findings demonstrate that integrating technology, management principles, and educational strategies enhances both the effectiveness of disaster response and the resilience of communities. This research emphasizes that EWS is not only a technological innovation but also a strategic tool for management and education in building sustainable disaster preparedness.
