Long Range Sensor Network for Disaster Relief

Abstract

The ability for governing bodies to provide aid quickly and accurately has been proven critical in preserving human lives [2]. In many disaster scenarios, such as high magnitude earthquakes or tsunamis, existing communication infrastructure could be rendered inoperable. This creates the need for additional disaster relief solutions. The most optimum solution to this issue is a long-range, batter-powered sensor network which could be deployed quickly and easily. This paper comprises the creation of a more efficient and accessible sensor network for use in situations which demand flexibility, such as in disaster relief.
