IoT-based Disaster Management System
Project Title : IoT-based Disaster Management System
Objective:
To design an IoT-driven system that detects natural disasters in real time, sends alerts, and helps coordinate emergency response to minimize damage and save lives.
Project Summary:
This project aims to use IoT sensors and communication technologies to monitor environmental conditions and detect early signs of disasters like floods, earthquakes, fires, or gas leaks. The system collects data from distributed sensors and sends it to a cloud platform for analysis. In case of danger, it instantly notifies authorities and citizens through SMS, app alerts, or sirens. The system also logs disaster data for future response planning.
Key Components:
Hardware: Sensors (seismic, temperature, gas, water level), microcontroller (Arduino/ESP32), GSM/Wi-Fi module
Software: Cloud platform for real-time data analysis, Alert system (SMS, app), Dashboard for authorities
Technologies: IoT, Cloud Computing, Wireless Communication, Data Visualization
Features:
Early detection of disasters (earthquakes, floods, fires, gas leaks)
Real-time monitoring of environmental conditions
Instant multi-channel alert system
Emergency response coordination dashboard
Historical data logging for analysis
Applications:
Government disaster control centers
Smart cities and urban safety
Industrial safety monitoring
Community alert systems in vulnerable zones
Outcome:
The project highlights how IoT can be leveraged to create a responsive and efficient disaster management system. It helps reduce response time, improve preparedness, and enhance public safety—an excellent example of tech for social good.
