According to a statement issued by the company, the app provides disaster-related information in the form of text, links, videos, images, and audio. It is segregated based on the types and stages of disasters to make the information clearer and has features targeted at people with visual impairment, such as customizing the font size, switching between dark mode and light mode, and using bright colors.
“The app targets businesses (especially women-owned/led) and hence has specific features for preparedness as well as actual management such as an opportunity to become a supplier of disaster management products, access risk financing support, download Business Continuity Plan templates, participate at disaster management events, learn about disaster management, provide help and more,” the statement quotes Surakchya Adhikari, COO, Thulo.Com, as saying.
