Disaster management and response have advanced
significantly with the creation of a novel early disaster detection
system that makes use of a Gigabit Passive Optical Network
(GPON). To enable real-time monitoring and quick information
distribution in the case of impending disasters, this system makes
use of the high bandwidth and wide coverage of GPONs. The
system is intended to identify early indicators of environmental
changes that may precede natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, or fires by integrating sensors and sophisticated analytics
throughout the optical network. The network’s sensors gather a
variety of environmental data, which are subsequently processed
by advanced algorithms to forecast and identify anomalies
signifying impending threats. By giving authorities and the public
timely warnings, the GPON’s real-time data processing and high-speed communication capabilities enable prompt and effective
coordination of emergency response activities, potentially saving
lives and minimizing damage. This system is an affordable
option that can be put into practice in a variety of urban and
geographic contexts because it shows how to strategically use the
current telecommunications infrastructure to improve disaster
preparedness and response efforts.
