OUR IDEA
A system of pager like communication devices that form an ad hoc network during communication blackouts caused by disasters.
These devices can be part of an emergency kit or can be air-dropped in disaster struck areas.
These devices form a mesh network of their own not hence can work even in a disaster situation where existing infrastructure is rendered inoperational.
These devices can only receive data sent by those entities authorised by Disaster Management Entity

Each pager device is capable of creating a network of about 1 KM wide using LoRa technology.
The devices can connect with each other and create a mesh network.
GATEWAYS : Devices present with first-responders serve as a signal-booster, increasing the range of the network.
Disaster Management Entity (DME) :The organisation responsible for centralized command of resource and information distribution during disaster response.

Dashboard
Our system contains a dashboard that the DME’s use in addition to the communication devices.
The dashboard displays crucial data from a plethora of sources and monitors the data for abnormal activity.
If any such activity is detected, the system alerts the operators and calls for a vote to determine if a disaster alert is required
If the minimum number of votes are met, an alert is sent out to all the devices in the network.
