Role of Internet of Things in disaster management

Disasters, both man-made and natural, occurs frequently throughout the globe. When these happen, it furnishes some outrageous results. Loss of life, property and habitat are few of the outcomes of the disasters. Efficient management techniques should be implemented for minimizing the damage and risks involved with disasters. Technology growth is not reflecting in the area of emergency management. Internet of Things, rapidly evolving to Internet of Anything and Everything, can be introduced to manage disaster scenarios. Rescue events can be interlinked through IoT for proper management approach. Disaster warning systems, rescue methods, follow-up, and regulation techniques can be conjugated for this purpose. This paper introduces a novel architectural system for productive disaster management using IoT techniques which reduces the fatality of a disaster phenomenon.
