TipTags Nato app for iPhone and iPad

TipTags NATO is a collaborative disaster planning system, promoting communication, cooperation, transparency and risk reduction.

Nobody knows a place better than the people who live there every day. Planners have difficulty getting good data about places and sharing plans and information with the people who need it most. TipTags solves this problem for NATO and other groups by allowing users to create, preserve and share vital information with down to the doorway accuracy on a map.

TipTags can contain any kind of information, photos, video, text, location, forms, and connect to any database. If connections are lost they can still create information for their local area and upload it the next time they have a data connection.

Communities create, preserve and share information with their mobile devices about what they would do in a disaster. Would they shelter in place? Would they stay with a neighbour? What are they worried about? What happened in the last disaster? This information is available to all stakeholders on mobile or computer.

Planners get better data and can use this data to create plans. Draft plans can be shared with communities on their mobile devices for comment, all on the same map, resulting in better plans, and improving access to these plans for all stakeholders.

In an emergency they same system can be used to share locations, damage, safety information, where to shelter, and where to find first responders.

After the disaster the same system can make a highly accurate record of all the damage done. And record repairs and other actions taken to recover.
