Computer science Among all natural disasters, flood is considered as the most civilization-destroying disaster which causes considerable damage to all life and property. Every country has its own rescue teams and techniques to minimize the loss and suffering during the flood. Communication and collaboration are one of the major issues for successful performing search and rescue operations during the flood occurrence.

The comparative study demonstrates the performance of the proposed model improves 30% compared to the existing model.
