OgoxeApp – information and decision support web tool
OgoxeApp is a web-based information and decision support tool that offers a smart and resilient flood information and monitoring solution for individuals, businesses and local authorities. The application provides real-time access to a wide range of environmental data essential for making decisions during natural disasters. OgoxeApp allows individuals and organizations to monitor environmental risks and to be informed of impending risks through email, SMS, or call.
For an individual, the app offers the ability to stay informed of the risks around their home such as floods, storms, and other natural disasters. The information is displayed on a map, making it easy to visualize the situation and take action.
For communities, the app helps to prevent and protect the municipality and populations located in risk areas by providing notifications through email, SMS, or call.
For companies, the app helps to protect employees, warehouses, stock, premises, and the business by alerting them in advance of any potential risks.
OgoxeApp has a three-step protection system :
Inform - providing access to real-time information on weather, river and flood levels and a climate risk map.
Plan - allowing users to receive alerts in case of risk by email, SMS, or call while continuing to monitor the weather.
Protect - providing advance warning of imminent risks, ensuring protection for the user and their loved ones, property, business, and assets.
The app has four main parts :
Home page – this part allows users to view the latest data collected by the application, including hydrometric, meteorological, groundwater, camera and air quality stations, Vigicrues monitoring course, wind, met office radar, and precipitation.
Data consultation – this part allows users to consult and compare data history, either by station or by parameter, with a graphical display.
Notifications – this is an important feature, allowing users to program alerts to be sent when a specific value or threshold has been reached. Notifications can be sent via email, SMS, or voice call. Users can create contacts for their accounts and send notifications to these contacts subject to their acceptance.
Mass messaging – this feature allows users to send messages to their contacts, via email, SMS or call. The management of contacts is done through a dedicated tab. Users can only send messages for informative purposes, not for commercial purposes.
Integrating OgoxeApp to the BRIC web platform allows the partners and their community to have their station and IoT device information in one place. It also allows the bric-community page users direct access to a comprehensive and user-friendly tool that provides real-time environmental data and allows for effective decision-making during natural disasters.
