Abstract

Since history started, natural disasters have threatened mankind existence. Natural disasters happen mainly due to the geographic position and climate change. Timely disaster warning and evacuation or safety measurement could save lives of people. Malaysia is a country which citizen are rarely prepared to safety measure of the natural disaster especially earthquake since most of us thought earthquake in Malaysia is impossible. Earthquake is type of natural disaster which cannot be predicted exact time before it happen. The country lacks of effective disaster preparedness system to comfort natural disaster. For this reason as mention, I have proposed a system that could detect the earthquake and send safety measurement message that the receiver can display the message. The embedded system used to develop this disaster remote messaging system are Raspberry Pi. This project explains how to send message and receive message using Raspberry Pi. The objective of the project is to detect medium range natural disaster using sensor, to develop a disaster messaging system using smartphone's application and to calculate the efficiency rate of the message delivered. The system using smartphone application WhatsApp from the library ofY owsup for sending. Vibration sensor is used to detect the vibration (earthquake) then send the signal to Raspberry Pi. Input signal from the sensor trigger Raspberry Pi to send precaution message which is pre-code to be display. The message will be send to recipient mobile phone which has installed with Whatsapp smart phone application. This will alert him or her on the earthquake and quickly takes precaution measurement to save his/her life. Since time is a factor when disaster happens, the experiment on time needed for the system to detect earthquake, send, receive and display the message are conduct. The experiment results will demonstrates the effectiveness of our system. Hence, with the introduction of this product, many innocent lives could be saved as well.
