  Natural disasters are a large threat for people especially in developing
countries such as Laos. ICT-based disaster management systems aim at supporting
disaster warning and response efforts. However, the ability to directly
communicate in both directions between local and administrative level is often
not supported, and a tight integration into administrative workflows is
missing. In this paper, we present the smartphone-based disaster and reporting
system Mobile4D. It allows for bi-directional communication while being fully
involved in administrative processes. We present the system setup and discuss
integration into administrative structures in Lao PDR.
