A Review on Wireless Sensor Network Protocol for Disaster Management

Abstract

Disasters management and emergency services used to protect a person or society from the cost of disasters such as tsunami warning , landslide monitoring, earthquake rescue operation , volcano monitoring, and fire protection. Timely report and responses are especially important for reducing the number of sufferers and damages from incidents. In such cases, the communication structure that may not function well. This makes it hard to gain information about the incident, and then to respond to the incident rapidly and properly. Sensor networks can provide a good solution to these problems through actively monitoring and well-timed reporting emergency incidents to base station. Our objective on this topic aim to study different sensor network protocols to resolve some key technical problems in this area, thus identify the energy efficient wireless sensor network architecture for significant improvement of disaster management. We also analyze the WSN protocol based on metrics such as Energy efficiency, location awareness, network lifetime. It furthermore focuses the advantages and performance for disaster management.
