Qatar National Shelter System for PC

This system allows emergency managers and disaster workers to identify the location, managing agency, capacity, current population, and other relevant information of all shelters operated in response to disasters. This system helps in developing strategies to ensure prompt and effective mass care services.
QSS also serves as an emergency shelter planning tool and serves as a centralized database of all pre-surveyed facilities that could be used as shelters within the QATAR. New users to the site must self-register to access the system, however, this author made two attempts to register and received no promised confirming email that was to include instructions to complete the self-registration process. Access to a quick glimpse of QSS was achieved via looking via the assistance of a colleague.
The system provides pre-disaster facility information such as location, status, pre-event and post-event capacity, and anticipated operating agency. QSS is used for planning, tracking, supporting, and reporting data on shelters. QNSS is owned and operated by the QRCS, and data from this system can be used by other governmental, and other non-governmental organizations to plan for, organize, and coordinate the resources necessary to support the needs of the disaster-impacted community.
This system also includes several inventories to accommodate the delivery of necessities, such as food, water, medicine, and blankets.
