The Macao SAR Government Cartography and Cadastre Bureau recently launched the 'GeoGuide for Emergency' mobile map App, enabling the public to obtain important information such as areas that may be affected during different 'Storm Surge' warning levels, in addition to the location of each Emergency Refuge Centre and the Emergency Hotline of Macao via mobile phone.

'GeoGuide for Emergency' has built in important geographical information such as areas susceptible to 'Storm Surge' conditions, Emergency Refuge Centre, Meeting Place/Place to Stay for Emergency Evacuation, Hospital, Health Center, Public Security Unit, Fire Services Unit and Customs Unit, as well as various types of hedging and disaster prevention guidelines.

The public need only activate the satellite positioning function of their mobile phone to determine if their current location falls within the expected range of the 'Storm Surge', and learn about the location information of the nearby Emergency Refuge Centre and Place to Stay for Emergency Evacuation.

Should the Meteorological and Geophysics Bureau issue a 'Storm Surge' warning the application will display information such as immediate warning level and latest weather conditions. The application also provides offline viewing even when the network is disconnected so that the public can still browse urgent geographical information such as areas likely affected during 'Storm Surge' via mobile phone.

The first edition of 'GeoGuide for Emergency' - available in traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, Portuguese and English - can be downloaded for free by searching 'GeoGuide for Emergency' either in App store or Google Play.
