Smart IoT-Based Solution for Emergency Assistance during Sandstorms and Landslides
Natural disasters, which are caused by changes in the climate and geography, pose a major threat to human life and economic stability. These events, which include cyclones, tsunamis, landslides, and earthquakes, can result in serious ecological damage as well as fatalities. The speed at which climate change is occurring increases the unpredictability of such disasters, especially in vulnerable regions like deserts and forests. This study offers a solution to the challenges of rescuing those who are stranded by such catastrophes, where traditional rescue methods and communication may not be effective. The system uses Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile phone technologies to send location information and real-time alerts through Global Positioning System (GPS) and Geographic Information System (GIS), enabling the timely location of a person or vehicle for effective emergency response. This approach aims to improve disaster preparedness and survival rates in remote, catastrophe-prone areas.
