Disaster Alert and Notification System Via Android Mobile Phone by Using Google Map

Since history started human activities enforced many natural disasters. Due to continuous change in geographic position and climate, countries situated near oceans are most sensitive countries to natural disasters. The developing countries also lack effective disaster preparedness system to resist natural disasters. Disaster warnings and evacuation guidelines may save lives of many peoples. A tourist or blind people can face problem in finding safe place if any natural disaster occurs. For this reason, we have proposed a location based early disaster warning and evacuation system for both normal and blind people using Google Map. Because of the use of smart phones in developing countries increases, the system is implemented on android mobile phone. So, our system consists of a third-party server named Disaster Management Server (DMS), android device on which our application installed and user. Updates of the disaster (tsunami, cyclone or flood) are put on DMS by the local weather office. To get automatic notification of upcoming disaster device user registers on Disaster Management Server (DMS) else user can gets manual notification. The user keep in touch with DMS to get most renew data obtained by GSM. The proposed application notifies the user located in possible disaster zone with visual and audio disaster warning and evacuation guideline combine with nearest location of shelter or safe zone on the map of the application. DMS also tracked Evacuation progress and national identification of user. The experimental result proves the effectiveness of our system.
