The field of disaster prevention and mitigation is one of the most prominent BDS industrial  applications. Through the short message and location reporting function of BDS, disaster warning and quick report, disaster relief command and dispatch, and rapid emergency communication have been realized. This can greatly improve the response time and decision-making capability of the disaster emergency response.
