Abstract

Flood is a natural disaster that occurs almost every year in Malaysia causing damages, property losses and deaths. This problem happened at the rural residents that will give a high impact to the population that can be fatal issues due to no advance notice about the floods. A system that can give early warning to the residents in the areas that may affected by the disaster is important. Therefore, this flood disaster indicator system is developed to reduce damage, property loss and save life. The designed system uses an Arduino Uno board as the microcontroller and a GSM module. For the input part, the designed system uses three float switch sensors that distinguish the four flood levels: safe condition, alert level, moderate risk level and high risk level. The system is also accomplished with four technical problem indicators for maintenance purposes. Each flood level is represented by a unique binary number combination which is considered as the sensed data. Once the sensors sense the flood level, the data are interpreted by the microcontroller and the output is sent to the GSM shield. The GSM shield will send the alert to the user. The outcome of this project is a prototype of the flood disaster indicator. An analysis is done to show the efficiency of the system based RSSI of GSM coverage. The results that even though at a low RSSI, the time taken for the SMS to reach the receiver is less than one minute. To conclude, we say that the designed is efficient and functioning very well.
