Southern Leyte State University-Hinunangan responded positively to the request and developed a system purposely to properly handle records and efficiently monitor establishments for business and building compliance. The integration particularly of a geographic information system aimed at determining, locating, and monitoring establishments particularly when responding to fire or disaster risk-related incidents. The System Development Life Cycle (SDLC Framework), which employs the entire iterative waterfall approach, was used in the development process.
