A novel approach to aware slum dwellers during fire breakthrough using D2D communication

People living in slums are severely affected in case of any disaster such as fire or earthquake due to the unawareness of the situation and difficulties associated with rescue operations. Since disaster preparedness and responses are always better than recovery, our goal is to aware habitats for faster response during the disaster occurrence such as fire breakthrough. Conventional fire alarm systems comprising of fire sensors and smart phones offers fire alarm generation for the dwellers and quick communication to the rescue authorities. In addition to the existing system, we propose to aware the dwellers of the slum during fire occurrence not only by starting the siren but also by transmitting fire alarm to their smart phones to aware them; this task will be performed by 4G central public safety smart phone to establish device to device communication with the nearby habitat's smart phone and repeat this action to ripple the alert signal to other habitats; so the nearby dwellers will be notified instantly. Then it will pass the information to the passerby to spread the news and to the responsible authorities for rescue operation. Cost effective analysis and the simulations showed that minimal cost and time is required for the fire alarm generation and propagation compared to the safety of valuable human live.
