Digital Community Support and Management Application and Dashboard Features for Pandemic Outbreak Management in Malaysia Setting

Abstract

Disaster management is the process of organizing and managing resources and responsibilities for dealing with the humanitarian elements of disasters, including preparedness, response, and recovery. Disaster management’s objective is to mitigate the impact of disasters on communities. Numerous infectious diseases can offer a significant threat on a local regional, and global scale, and in certain cases can result in epidemics or pandemics. Due to the massive volume of information and data generated every minute, data visualization is a necessary strategy for conveying information accurately and ensuring that people grasp it immediately upon first glance.  This scope of the inquiry was based on the phenomenon of the covid-19 outbreak, and all the data were gathered within Malaysia. The analysis’s parameters were chosen after thorough investigation and consultation with professionals. This study acquired data through telephone interviews with residents of the affected communities. Eight digital community features were proposed in this study to help the management of pandemic outbreak. With comprehensive features and the capacity to be accessed by the general public, all afflicted communities can be certain that they will receive all available aid from the government or non-governmental organization, and the extent of assistance covered is visible on the dashboard.
