Abstract:
Since the past started human activities enforced many natural disasters. Due to continuous
change in geographic position and climate, countries situated near oceans are the most sensitive
countries to natural disasters. The developing countries also lack an effective disaster alertness
system to resist natural disasters. Disaster warnings and removal guidelines may save the lives
of many peoples. Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that connected anything and everything together to the Internet. IoT is the newest technology rapidly enlarge in its usage. This
technology brings new products such as disaster intensive care. Flood and landslides disaster
are the main concern in Sri Lanka because every year there are flood occurred. This research
is to establish a Flood and landslides guidance system and to make the general public aware
of such a disaster and to guide them to the nearest security spots. The major problem that has
been identified in this research is the impossibility of arriving in a safe place and the lack of
knowledge in case of floods and landslides. The probability of predicting a disaster is very
unlikely, thus the resulting damage is immense. Once this scenario is taken into consideration,
this research has identified some problems. Among them, the lack of preparedness for potential
Flood and landslides, the lack of resources and the exotic staff have no idea of reacting and
getting warning signals. But one of the major issues of this research is the inability to track
Flood and landslides alerts and arrive at a safe place in the easiest way.
