Description
Summary:Floods occur in many countries every year and often cause great losses. How to monitor and notify flood management teams and people is the key problem for flood pre-disaster management. In Malaysia, flood disaster situation is still managed manually through multi-organization team according to standard operation procedure for disaster management. In current situation there is a delay in notifying those organizations that the situation is dangerous. The communication between those organizations is done manually, which generates a certain amount of risk in case of human error and of course its risky consequences. This study has developed a flood notification system that acts as a communication tool between disaster management organizations. The notification could be done through SMS and email.
