Disaster Management System Using Free Space Optical Communication

Abstract

The preservation of lives and property during natural or man-made disasters is referred to as disaster management. During times of disaster, all the existing infrastructure may be destroyed. In this paper, we propose a prototype of a free space optics-based disaster management system. Free space optics-based communication systems can be quickly established as compared to other communication systems. In this paper, we use three sensors to detect disasters such as earthquakes and floods. Using a free space optic communication system, we transmit the detected disaster using a voice-based communication system.
