Natural disasters are extreme events within the earth’s system that result in death or injury to humans, and/or damage to infrastructures. To reduce the effects of damage, humans rely on useful data to warn on impending disaster and management of disaster after/when it occurs. Collection of data comes from many scientific disciplines and should be integrated. Therefore, the author has developed a system that contributes towards providing data to the collective effort of disaster management. In this project, the author had created a prototype of flood monitoring on remote places using wireless sensor. The objective is to collect data such as water flow, temperature and water level when flood occurs on a remote area. These data provides valuable information on emergency relief efforts and to give timely and accurate information of conditions on the ground. The wireless sensor that the author has developed consists of a transmitter node. The author have also created a Graphical User Interface that can be easily executed to any laptop and is transferable simply by copying and pasting – without the need to use any special software such as Mat Lab.
