New Mexico tracking, reporting oil and gas pollution via mobile app on iPhone, Android [Carlsbad Current-Argus, N.M.]
Data on oil and gas emissions and other pollutants are now accessible on iPhones and Android devices as state regulators launched a mobile app to make the information more accessible to the public.
The New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) and the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department (EMNRD) announced the launch of the mobile app Dec. 15, intending to offer better visualization for operators and the public alike via interactive maps.
The app was developed by EMNRD’s Information Technology Office but will also include data from NMED.
According to her, the app is a digital platform built to connect victims and survivors of SGBV to first responders and other stakeholders working to eliminate all forms of sexual and gender-based violence in Nigeria.
Describing UNSUB as an innovation borne out of a passion to create a data tool to not just track SGBV incidents and cases, but also follow through on providing practical access to justice for women and girls.
Khadija Muhammad Awwal said, “We strongly believe the fight against SGBV requires the collaborative efforts of all concerned and technology which has for decades now been providing lasting solutions to social problems is the best way to approach this fight against SGBV. Alone, there is only so much we can do while together we can do so much more.”
