POSIT (Portable Open Search and Identification Tool) is a Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software project to use the Google Android phone as a platform for mobile disaster management applications. POSIT is configured to serve as a portable search and rescue tool, using the phone's GPS, camera, database, and touchscreen interface to collect and save data about disaster victims and transmit the data periodically to a remote server using either an Internet or cellular protocol. POSIT demonstrates that the free and open Android platform is an accessible platform for rapid application development of disaster management applications on mobile phones.
