A mobile app launched to assist territories’ demining

Volunteers of the Swiss charitable organization Free Ukraine, together with specialists of the State Emergency Service, developed a special application that allows reporting of explosive devices and unexploded ordnance.

The State Emergency Service reported about this.

The “MineFree” application allows to:

• view the map on which potentially dangerous areas are marked, according to the data of the State Emergency Service;
• receive a notification in case of approaching a dangerous object;
• become familiar with Ukrainian State Emergency Service guide, which contains a photo and description of explosive objects;
• report the discovery of explosive or suspicious objects.

The State Emergency Service reported that since the beginning of the Russian aggression, more than 176,000 explosive items have been seized by service personnel. At the same time, more than 30% of the territory of Ukraine is considered potentially contaminated by various ammunition and explosive devices.

Еhis mobile application was created to protect people from danger.

Registered users can fill out a special electronic form with a photo, description, address and geolocation of the object. This information immediately reaches the rescuers, which ensures prompt response of the State Emergency Service and subsequent disposal of such items, the State Emergency Service said in a statement.

The application can be downloaded from the App Store and Google Play.

As previously reported, the Geneva International Centre for Humanitstarian Demining will receive sappers from Ukraine for training.
