Abstract
Civil structures like bridges, railway tracks, dams, high rise buildings and even public facilities need regular surveys and reporting so as to timely address potential threats to avoid serious loss of life and property. Every organization performs survey of related structures from time to time. However, due to manual errors, corruption and other factors, inaccurate responses lead to delay or neglect of critical repairs leading to unfavorable events and loss of life and property. This paper presents a novel mobile app based framework to crowd source survey information from qualified individuals to act as an indicator for concerned authorities to take timely action. The app provides an informative dashboard with color coded geo locations dynamically driven from crowd sourced information. Authors envision that such an app in public domain will help concerned authorities to take time action against potential threats.
