>> Hello Guys,

>> Also I checked the workshop's photos on flickr and am mesmerized seeing

>> happiness wishing last more longer which I still hope we do have in the
>> other coming workshops.
>> @Olabayo & @Chukudi thanks for keeping on, moderating and constant
>> messages in this mailing list
>> @TosinAnimashaun the article on Django Girls Lagos Workshop is thoughtful
>> and lovely, I really appreciate the efforts put into it
>> @Lekan thanks for evangelizing for Django Girls whereby also promoting
>> Python and it's community though I know it's not easy combining school
>> activities with organizing DjangoGirls in anyway we are here to help and I
>> love the idea for the Python Book in a Nigeria version
>> @all thanks for voting and the support of wanting to work on a open source
>> project and below is the documentation of mErgencyNG.
>> The community is free to discuss and modify it you see fit.
>> Thanks all and in Aisha's mode am wishing you a Pythonic Day.
>> Hugs and pecks!
>>
>> mErgencyNG is a crowd sourced platform for all security agencies, disaster
>> management outfits or organizations, hospitals and road safety corps and
>> the citizenries for a quick responds and threats notification from the
>> citizenries to the government or appropriate authorities for safeguarding
>> lives and properties.
>>
>> In a Nigeria of today there is no web or mobile app that augment the
>> efforts of our security forces because civilians are detached from the
>> system, they are afraid to report incidents so not to be the first suspect.
>> Every citizens want to be connected with what government is doing and with
>> the level of awareness and the advocacy of community policing and to curb
>> the rising insurgency in Nigeria each and everyone are the users of the
>> application and with the current population of Nigeria as at today if only
>> we have 20million users am sure we will be well informed.
>> The users of the application can use it to report any crime to the police,
>> accidents can be reported to police or FRSC, we can call ambulance in case
>> of emergency, call for assistance from vigilante group, notify civil
>> defence on any vandalism, report suspicious items to bomb squad or
>> terrorism to the appropriate authorities
>> Create a web and mobile app that people can use to report any crime or
>> emergency to the appropriate authorities. We can also use the application
>> to place inform of advert for missing person, stolen items or vehicle and
>> also integrate with social media for allowing neighbours, friends, families
>> and our networks to notify us if they see the items missing.
>>
>> VISION:
>> * Secured and safe neighbourhood, peaceful nation for all
>>
>> MISSION:
>> * To ensured a safe and secured communities through collaboration and
>> engagement of citizens
>>
>> OBJECTIVES:
>> * To protect lives and properties
>> * To support by provision of emergency assistance when needed
>> * To assist victims of emergency medical needs without the rigour of police
>> report document before treatment
>> * To report crime without be seen as a first suspect
>> * To facilitate information sharing between security agencies and the
>> citizens
>>
>> OVERVIEW OF THE mErgencyNG
>> mErgencyNG will be a web and mobile app solution aimed at improving
>> response of security, road safety, medical, army, fire and other services
>> to emergency incidents while it will be used to creating a social media
>> buzz amongst users. Developing countries such as Nigeria has a huge gap in
>> notifying the respective emergency services about demanding situation and
>> this web and mobile application seeks to fill this gap. This web and mobile
>> application directly affects those who find themselves in emergency
>> situations in a country with absolutely no helpline / emergency hotline
>> like other developed countries of the world. Publicity of emergencies goes
>> along way in notifying the various emergency services available for
>> decisive action and this web and mobile application enables access to
>> highly coordinated and distributed emergency care. This application has a
>> great potential to affect a large group of people deeply whilst filling up
>> the large vacuum of emergency notification and responses in a developing
>> country like Nigeria. It also brings location based services to citizens.
>> In that way, we are able to bring emergency services (Ambulance, fire
>> services, Police, Red Cross, FRSC and rescue) delivering services and cabs
>> - as well as other location based services to all areas with no (clearly
>> defined) street addresses.

>> Subject: [python-nigeria] Overview of mErgencyNG
>> Hello Guys,
>> First of all I have to thank God for giving us the grace to hear from one
>> another after the workshop, and I also appreciated @Aisha for checking on
>> us to know if things are great with us else to notify others and see the
>> possibility of any assistance, Kudos.
>> Also I checked the workshop's photos on flickr and am mesmerized seeing
>> through the perspective of Happy People, all are lovely with moments of
>> happiness wishing last more longer which I still hope we do have in the
>> other coming workshops.
>> @Olabayo & @Chukudi thanks for keeping on, moderating and constant
>> messages in this mailing list
>> @TosinAnimashaun the article on Django Girls Lagos Workshop is thoughtful
>> and lovely, I really appreciate the efforts put into it
>> @Lekan thanks for evangelizing for Django Girls whereby also promoting
>> Python and it's community though I know it's not easy combining school
>> activities with organizing DjangoGirls in anyway we are here to help and I
>> love the idea for the Python Book in a Nigeria version
>> @all thanks for voting and the support of wanting to work on a open source
>> project and below is the documentation of mErgencyNG.
>> The community is free to discuss and modify it you see fit.
>> Thanks all and in Aisha's mode am wishing you a Pythonic Day.

>>
>> mErgencyNG is a crowd sourced platform for all security agencies, disaster
>> management outfits or organizations, hospitals and road safety corps and
>> the citizenries for a quick responds and threats notification from the
>> citizenries to the government or appropriate authorities for safeguarding
>> lives and properties.
>>
>> In a Nigeria of today there is no web or mobile app that augment the
>> efforts of our security forces because civilians are detached from the
>> system, they are afraid to report incidents so not to be the first suspect.
>> Every citizens want to be connected with what government is doing and with
>> the level of awareness and the advocacy of community policing and to curb
>> the rising insurgency in Nigeria each and everyone are the users of the
>> application and with the current population of Nigeria as at today if only
>> we have 20million users am sure we will be well informed.
>> The users of the application can use it to report any crime to the police,
>> accidents can be reported to police or FRSC, we can call ambulance in case
>> of emergency, call for assistance from vigilante group, notify civil
>> defence on any vandalism, report suspicious items to bomb squad or
>> terrorism to the appropriate authorities
>> Create a web and mobile app that people can use to report any crime or
>> emergency to the appropriate authorities. We can also use the application
>> to place inform of advert for missing person, stolen items or vehicle and
>> also integrate with social media for allowing neighbours, friends, families
>> and our networks to notify us if they see the items missing.
>>
>> VISION:
>> * Secured and safe neighbourhood, peaceful nation for all
>>
>> MISSION:
>> * To ensured a safe and secured communities through collaboration and
>> engagement of citizens
>>
>> OBJECTIVES:
>> * To protect lives and properties
>> * To support by provision of emergency assistance when needed
>> * To assist victims of emergency medical needs without the rigour of police
>> report document before treatment
>> * To report crime without be seen as a first suspect
>> * To facilitate information sharing between security agencies and the
>> citizens
>>
>> OVERVIEW OF THE mErgencyNG
>> mErgencyNG will be a web and mobile app solution aimed at improving
>> response of security, road safety, medical, army, fire and other services
>> to emergency incidents while it will be used to creating a social media
>> buzz amongst users. Developing countries such as Nigeria has a huge gap in
>> notifying the respective emergency services about demanding situation and
>> this web and mobile application seeks to fill this gap. This web and mobile
>> application directly affects those who find themselves in emergency
>> situations in a country with absolutely no helpline / emergency hotline
>> like other developed countries of the world. Publicity of emergencies goes
>> along way in notifying the various emergency services available for
>> decisive action and this web and mobile application enables access to
>> highly coordinated and distributed emergency care. This application has a
>> great potential to affect a large group of people deeply whilst filling up
>> the large vacuum of emergency notification and responses in a developing
>> country like Nigeria. It also brings location based services to citizens.
>> In that way, we are able to bring emergency services (Ambulance, fire
>> services, Police, Red Cross, FRSC and rescue) delivering services and cabs
>> - as well as other location based services to all areas with no (clearly
>> defined) street addresses.
