Abstract: Disaster Risk Reduction is a complex field in which a huge amount of data is collected and processed every day
in order to plan and run preparedness and response actions, which are required to get ready and to effectively
respond to natural disasters when they strike. This paper, which targets a wide audience, focuses on the design of
a mobile application that aims to integrate the crowdsourcing paradigm in current Disaster Risk Reduction
processes. The design process is integrated in the User Centred Approach, which we apply through a co-design
methodology involving end-users, iterative prototyping and development phases, and five in-field evaluations of
the implemented solution. We describe both the design activities and the results obtained from end-users�
feedbacks focusing on the perspective of first responders.
