“…A significant amount of work has been done in ad-hoc communication and part of this work is related to disaster scenarios, such as in [4], [11], [12], [28]. However, typically these works consider the assumptions of a high-density network or the use of mobile nodes.…”

WSN-SA is a Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) framework that is been proposed to support rescue operations in collapsed structures, such as houses and buildings, after natural and human-made disasters. The sensors and actuators are deployed prior to the disaster and ideally such sensor network is a required infrastructure of any building. Such SA systems can help to indicate how to distribute the rescue resources and how to identify imminent risks for rescuers and survivors. So far, few situational awareness (SA) systems based on WSNs have been proposed and no long-term realization of such systems has been reported. The goal of this work is to provide the foundations to change this reality so it would be possible to see a SA system accompanying each existing fire system. To this end, a strong emphasis is given to a) the achievement of low total cost of ownership (TCO), b) reliability, c) and expandability for the adopted SA solution.

“…Another work [3] focuses on deploying a wireless sensor network protocol for disaster management to overcome communication deficiencies during disasters. The authors use wide area sensor node deployment and ad-hoc relay stations to send data from collapsed base stations to functioning base stations.…”

An unexpected increase in natural disasters has prompted a large interest in governments and organisations to utilise ICT for many different purposes such as preparation, impact mitigation, loss reduction and relief efforts. This paper presents initial work on studying disaster scenarios from device level perspective to characterise network infrastructural behaviour during extraordinary situations. We find connectivity challenges during disasters and observe sharp decline of quality metrics and loss of station quantity between ordinary and extraordinary time periods. We also make distinctions between usual and unusual behaviour seen during ordinary and extraordinary situations.

“…Most of the time be monitored environment generally do not have events; If events, events will continue for a period of time, generally within the sliding window other moments will detect the occurrence of the event. Sensor nodes in a certain period of time the readings will be related to each other so should make full use of the node in different time to collect data effectively for the event to determine [22].…”
