Abstract

Flood disaster is a natural phenomenon which can occur anytime and anywhere. This flood disaster is not a new thing for Malaysian since Malaysia is located near the Equator. This disaster occurs due to improper irrigation method in housing area or sudden increase of water volume in a river because of heavy rain or monsoon season. For the safety precaution, a notify message should be sent to the people at early stage to avoid any losses of property, damages and people’s life. This system design of an earlier flood alert system which can detect the water level by using ultrasonic sensor. The objectives of this research are to determine the water level of flood, to send a message to people about the flood’s condition, the delay time taken for a message reach to the people and to reduce the power consumption by using solar compare to other supply. The system is developed by Arduino Mega, Ultrasonic HC-SR04 Sensor and GSM modem technology. This research focuses on monitoring water level which used Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) to send Short Message Services (SMS) to communicate the data from Ultrasonic HC-SR04 sensor and then sent a warning message to the people through their mobile phone. This system had improved in the delay of sending of SMS, power consumption of solar system and detection of ultrasonic sensor.

Keywords: Flood, Ultrasonic Sensor, Global System for Mobile communication (GSM), Short Message Services (SMS), Solar System
