“…Disaster warning systems are used to broadcast warning messages to the public and, thus, warn people of imminent disasters. Sing et al [ 7 ] developed a seismic early warning alert system that can forewarn an urban area of a forthcoming strong quake, so that people could take appropriate actions and respond to that situation effectively. Rahman et al [ 8 ] developed a warning system, named OpenStreetMap (OSM), which provides a specific service to notify people about warning information and to help them determine the shortest path for evacuation.…”

Disaster warning and surveillance systems have been widely applied to help the public be aware of an emergency. However, existing warning systems are unable to cooperate with household appliances or embedded controllers; that is, they cannot provide enough time for preparedness and evacuation, especially for disasters like earthquakes. In addition, the existing warning and surveillance systems are not responsible for collecting sufficient information inside a building for relief workers to conduct a proper rescue action after a disaster happens. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a proof of concept prototype, named the active disaster response system (ADRS), which automatically performs emergency tasks when an earthquake happens. ADRS can interpret Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) messages, published by an official agency, and actuate embedded controllers to perform emergency tasks to respond to the alerts. Examples of emergency tasks include opening doors and windows and cutting off power lines and gas valves. In addition, ADRS can maintain a temporary network by utilizing the embedded controllers; hence, victims trapped inside a building are still able to post emergency messages if the original network is disconnected. We conducted a field trial to evaluate the effectiveness of ADRS after an earthquake happened. Our results show that compared to manually operating emergency tasks, ADRS can reduce the operation time by up to 15 s, which is long enough for people to get under sturdy furniture, or to evacuate from the third floor to the first floor, or to run more than 100 m.

“…Time issue is elaborated in dynamic IP based GPRS as explained [3].On demand data monitoring is provided mainly for images and security issues are not considered-health systems discussed in [2] is Ethernet static IP based where comparison of modems are done but simulation results of pic microcontroller are given as lab-test. An alert system [4] is designed for earthquake to warn the people about it. Main stress is given on earthquake sensing analysis and not discusses alert system.…”

The recent trends of remote monitoring and controlling prove that embedded system has drastically changed the data acquisition. In today's busy life it becomes very difficult to monitor data continuously by users. So, concepts of threshold is use to provide any change in data to users by alert. A significant value is considered as threshold set by C program and shell scripts. If data crosses the threshold value embedded system activate alert system to send SMS to register client making system secure. The main core of this paper present dynamic internet protocol (IP) based ARM9 embedded Webserver (EWS) for data acquisition in scale down version Linux. Dynamic IP obtain for EWS through GPRS of USB modem attached with system. Information stored in EWS sent alert SMS to client. Client as well able to access real time data, otherwise also it is accessible all time. Updated Dynamic IP of EWS is obtained from static dummy server. Direct access between user and EWS reduces interaction delay. Analysis of time delay of interaction is done and provided results proving system is real time. Test results are verified for different dynamic IPs and presented.
