Before the Covid-19 pandemic, there was Taal Volcano. Looking back, the year 2020 started with a Taal Volcano on the verge of eruption, and has caused ash fall from as far as Bulacan, and about a week of cancelled or diverted flights.
This year, the Taal Volcano is still showing signs of activity such as low frequency earthquakes and Alert Level 2 has been raised by the PhilVocs. While no imminent danger in sight, residents of the well-loved tourist destination are on high alert and are prepped to evacuate should there be signs of the volcano waking up again.
And as we reminisced about the days when we can freely travel and go to Tagaytay on a road trip, we are concerned for our kababayans there should there be another volcano activity that will put them in danger.
With safety concerns in mind, Teralogix developed the TaALERT app that compiles news and bulletins from credible sources, making it convenient for users to know what is happening in real-time. Scientific data and news from Philvolcs are posted wthout editing, ensuring that information is credible.
For LGUs, TaALERT provides a way to easily monitor residents, and to communicate with them through alert messages and evacuation advisories.
For non-residents, TaALERT will provide you with the necessary information to plan out any trips. In the event of a disaster, you will also be able to check the safety status of your friends and relatives who live near the area through Community Groups. You may also aid in any evacuation efforts through this feature.
"We try to keep the bayanihan spirit alive through TaALERT. During disasters, it's important that we know what is happening, not just for our own well-being, but for our kababayans as well," said Drizela Sicat, CEO of Terlogix.
TaALERT is available for download via Play Store and Apple Store.
