The Malaysian Disaster Information Management System (MyDIMS) is a free mobile application developed by the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA), an agency under the Prime Minister's Department. This application is designed to assist the public in preparing for and responding to disasters.
Key features of MyDIMS include:
Disaster Early Warning: This application provides push notifications for disaster early warning that allow users to receive timely information for daily planning and preparedness.
Real-time Disaster Location: Through an interactive map on this mobile platform, the public can see the location of disaster incidents in real time.
Access to Related Agency Applications: MyDIMS provides links to disaster-related agency applications. However, users need to download these applications separately before they can be accessed.
Emergency Number Information: This application displays the number to contact the nearest State and District Disaster Operation Control Center (PKOB) and other emergency agencies based on the user's location. In addition to providing navigation guidance to the location via the Google Maps or Waze applications.

Nearby Temporary Evacuation Center (PPS) Information: Users can view a list of the nearest PPS. This application provides the latest status from the Social Welfare Department (JKM) on whether the PPS is open or closed, capacity and distance to the PPS. Navigation guidance to the PPS is also available via Google Maps or Waze.
