Abstract:

Floods are common disasters experienced in almost all parts of the world. The Philippines experienced varying degrees of flood events and almost all parts of the country are monitored during heavy rains and typhoons. As flood events continue to increase in the future, disaster risk management agencies intensifies strategies to mitigate impacts of flood at barangay level. This study presented a flood alert system for Brgy. San Agustin, San Jose Occidental Mindoro, Philippines to inform the community during the risk of flood. The developed system is composed of Arduino Uno microcontroller, Long Range, Global System for Mobile communication Module, water level sensors and temperature-humidity sensors. Once the sensors are activated and detected the water level, it will send alert message to the Global System for Mobile communication module and send flood alert messages to the receiver with response time of not exceeding ten (10) seconds. The simulation programmed in Arduino Uno showed that it is capable of real-time detection of water level and sending alert messages. The performance of the GSM module showed its capability of sending flood alert messages based on the water level detection. The developed system successfully showed its ability to send flood alert messages with corresponding alert description.
