Almaty launched a free mobile application Darmen, which notifies users about emergencies and possible threats. The project was implemented by the Emergency Department of Almaty together with the Almaty Development Center and the Kazakh company I2NIK within the framework of the Smart Almaty concept.
04/5/2019 News / Kazakhstan newsThe application by means of push-notifications massively informs the population about the threat and the occurrence of emergency situations within a few seconds. Pilot testing has shown that the main advantages of a mobile application with push notifications are:
— free format for both user and sender, with the ability to send an unlimited number of messages;
— instant delivery of messages to all users at the same time, unlike SMS distribution, when, depending on the service provider and technical limitations, the delivery of an emergency message to the user can take from 2 to 6 hours.
Since April 15, the Darmen application is available for download to all owners of smartphones and tablets based on Android and iOS in three languages: Kazakh, Russian and English.
