Implementation of the SMS Gateway in the Flood Early Warning Information System for Village Warning and Community Information

Abstract

Flooding is a national disaster that often occurs in Indonesia. Flood disasters require long-term and short-term action. In the short-term system, the government currently emphasizes state and private institutions to jointly reduce flood victims by developing a flood disaster early warning system. Therefore, this study discusses the making of flood early warning information systems by utilizing GSM communication systems as a means of communication between clients and servers. The GSM communication service used is the SMS Gateway. The SMS gateway service is used for the first time sending data from a flood detection system to a flood information system. Second, disseminating flood information to the public. In this study, the flood warning system for flood early warning works with the integration of three modes.The three systems are flood detection systems, flood alarm systems, and flood early warning information systems. Flood detection systems are built using ultrasonic sensors and rain sensors as inputs, Arduino Uno as data processors and GSM SIM900 modules as outputs. The alarm system consists of GSM SIM900 module as Input, Arduino Uno as processor and electric alarm as output. The flood early warning information system was built using a Wavecom GSM modem, and data processing using PHP, MySQL DBMS, and Gammu. The communication system between each system uses SMS data. This method as a whole began in a flood detection system that sends flood and rain data to the flood early warning information system. And the flood warning system sends alarm activation data to the alarm system. Finally, the system distributes flood information to the public via SMS Gateway. This research is expected to help the community in anticipating more victims with flood information previously obtained

Advanced Technologies for Offering Situational Intelligence in Flood Warning and Response Systems: A Literature Review

“…[ 29,37,38,48,[51][52][53][54][55] River or flood water, level observed [36,38,56] River or flood water, level forecasted [32,[57][58][59][60][61] Flood inundation extent Establish a spatial representation of floods to understand the impacted area.…”

“…The measuring of river water levels can be classified into three categories based on the method employed: measured water level (by IoT) [29,37,38,[52][53][54][55], observed water level (by the public) [36,38,56], and forecasted water level through simulations [32,[57][58][59][60]. Many modern early warning systems have employed IoT devices such as automated river gauges to continuously measure river water levels in real-time with greater accuracy [29,37,38,[52][53][54][55]. On the other hand, active and passive social media systems and crowdsourcing platforms are also being used to report water levels observed by the community as texts and photographs with time and location data [36,38,56].…”

“…In order to gain a further lead time for issuing an early warning for an evacuation, predictive models such as hydrological models and rainfall-runoff inundation models [32,[57][58][59][60] are being used to forecast water levels at a given point. The accuracy of these models can be enhanced by providing continuous real-time data gathered through both IoT and crowdsourcing [29,37,38,[52][53][54][55].…”

Implementation of Communication Systems based on the Global System for Mobile Communications in Flood Monitoring Application with Web-Based Geospatial Information

“…Arduino minimum system board is a drinking system board that is easy to use in making prototypes of embedded system applications such as smart home applications, fire detectors and other automation products [13]. While the Arduino application in a flood disaster is the use of a flood detection system that is integrated with an ultrasonic sensor as a water level sensor and Arduino as a data processor [14].…”

Multi-Hazard Early Warning System (MHEWS) Assessment Methodology for Schools

“…This means that for the system to work effectively, active participation of those involved or at risk is expected [11], [14]. Moreover, studies focus on the devices and technologies of EWS such as SMS and alarms [15], [16] compared to participant involvement. Experts and researchers suggest incorporating EWS with Organizational Resilience [17], [18] Studies showed that Organizational Resilience could minimize the negative impacts of technical issues and limitations of the EWS technologies [17].…”
