Besides, there is no time to find numbers from call list and also it is difficult to report emergency especially when panic. So, this project described about the application that will be a helping tool during emergency situation. The application is called UiTM Panic Button Using Location-Based Algorithm. This application basically will help by giving the information of the registered student of UiTM Jasin including the position of them in the form of latitude and longitude to the "Polis Bantuan" with only a button-click application on smartphone.

For usability testing, it shows that 93% of the respondents satisfied with the application. By having this application, it may be able to assist student when facing emergency situation.
