In conclusion, this case study highlights the
vital role of flood warning technology in the
Philippines, where natural disasters,
especially flooding, significantly impact the
local economy and infrastructure.
Notably, the research shows that the
development of disaster mitigation
technology not only reduces casualties but
also opens doors for mass-market
adoption when developed privately,
benefiting vulnerable regions.
Looking ahead, the growing market for these technologies presents opportunities
and challenges for technopreneurs, emphasizing the need to prioritize community
benefit alongside business development.
