Abstract

Flood is a natural disaster caused by the rise of water levels, typically in urban areas. This phenomenon can cause damages to properties such as buildings and landscapes. Moreover, it also can cause death among humans and animals. Malaysia is among the country that has rainfall throughout the years alongside monsoon seasons. Therefore, this country is prone to floods that are not predictable that causes the public to be unprepared to face potential floods. Although the authorities have taken some measures, such as the installation of the monitoring system, it is not efficient, expensive, and difficult to maintain. Hence, this study aims to design a low-cost flood monitoring system comprising a rainfall sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor, controller (Arduino), and GSM modem. The system will monitor the rainfall rates alongside temperature and humidity in deciding for the potential occurrence of flood. The data will be sent to a host PC with Graphical User Interface via GSM modem. The developed prototype aims to be installed at a selected location for monitoring and testing.
