Androids get free disaster recovery app

The Epoch Times.

North Dakota State University Extension Service and Myriad Devices developed Disaster Recovery Log (DRL) for Android phones, and it's free on the Android Market.

Users can take pictures of damage, record audio comments, and enter text to explain and record any damage.

According to the Environmental Protection, the DRL uses the smartphone's camera feature to capture photos to illustrate the flood damage.

Users can key in descriptions of damaged items or use their smartphone's voice recorder to record an audio description of the damage. Such details and photos are essential for possible insurance and/or government disaster claims.

Each damaged item is entered as a 'Detail' organised under a 'Disaster.' Users start by adding a 'Disaster.' Then add 'Details' to that 'Disaster' to document their losses.
