Abstract
A landslide is the movement of rock, rubble or dirt down a slope. They result from the failure of the constituents which make up the mountain slope and are driven by the force of gravity. Though the landslides cannot be detected before they occur, but we can alert the general population about any catastrophe that has occurred. This would enable the people residing in the vicinity as well as the disaster management authorities to help the needy. This research focuses on alerting the general population along with the disaster management authorities in case of an occurrence of a landslide. An accelerometer is used for detecting any kind of change in the ground movement. The accelerometer can easily detect horizontal as well as angular movements. It would detect small as well as the abrupt changes in the area around the sensor. Copper plates are separated by a small distance and would trigger as soon as pressure is applied to it. These nodes are connected together with Renesas GR-Kaede processor. The data is transmitted to the server via Zigbee. The server is programmed using XAMPP and PHP which continuously monitors the incoming data from the Zigbee attached at the COM port. The server then transmits the data to the android application which is specifically designed for alerting the user as soon as a landslide is triggered. The user can thus take the adequate countermeasures required in that situation. The user would also be able to send a message or call the disaster management authorities in case of any kind of query. They would be able to interact with the authorities so that sufficient help could be provided to them.Keywords
