===== For Organisations Considering Sahana ====== | |
| |
Sahana is a web-based disaster management application that provides management solutions, focusing on large-scale humanitarian disasters. It enables enhanced coordination by promoting integrated information gathering. It assists collaboration by providing a number of communication mechanisms in the aftermath of a disasters. Sahana is built from free and open source software and released under the [[wp>LGPL | GNU Lesser General Public Licence]], which means all users are free to download and use it (and are even free to create commercial derivatives of it)[[doc:about|...]] | |
| |
== How Sahana is useful in disaster situations == | |
| |
Sahana functions both **online** as well as a **stand alone** tool for disaster management, depending on the operational considerations. Users can access it via their local machine, from within the network, as part of a corporate intranet or anywhere in world via the Internet. This means it can be installed on a laptop, for workers in the field and at a central command center for overall coordination. When machines are linked, all information can be synchronised, via [[wp>USB]], [[wp>CD-R]] the [[wp>LAN]] or the Internet[[doc:about#how_sahana_coordinates_activities_occurring_in_multiple_locations|...]] | |
| |
== Supported Operating Systems and Web Browsers == | |
| |
Sahana supports **all modern operating systems and browsers**, including MS Windows, Mac OSX, Ubuntu and other Unix-like systems. Your browser must have JavaScript enabled, and your operating system must be able to run the [[wp>Apache_HTTP_Server|Apache HTTP Server]], the [[wp>PHP]] programming language and [[wp>MySQL]] database software. If you don't know what these are, the Installation Guides below will assist you. | |
