A NOVEL TECHNIQUE FOR AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF EARTHQUAKE AND LANDSLIDE USING IOT

Abstract

In recent years, the frequent occurrence of landslide and earthquake disasters, caused great harm to people’s lives and properties. Here’s a GSM-based seismic alert system that could warn before an earthquake or landslide strikes. An instrumentation system is presented here for the detection of the variations of these precursors which change well before the event using IOT. It consists of a sensor coupled to an embedded system to enable precise detection of variation in physical parameters . This helps us to interface it with the microcontroller through the related software and send an alarm in the audio and visual form when the parameters exceed beyond certain critical threshold . The instrumentation includes the vibration sensor and accelerometer are the predominant sensors for detecting the relative parameters from the simulations of the earthquake and landslide. The resulting damage can be minimized and lives can be saved if people living in the earthquake-prone area are already prepared to survive the strike. This system provides the monitoring center with warning information in time, so related departments can take effective measures rapidly to protect people’s lives and properties.
