Global Nominee

A Flood of Ideas

Your challenge is to develop a new methodology or algorithm that leverages Earth observation and critical infrastructure datasets to estimate damages to infrastructure caused by flooding. Make a measurable impact on the resilience of nations by helping the Earth observations community contribute to the United Nations’ primary effort to reduce disaster risk!

Advanced Natural Disaster Security Alert - ANDS Alert

Summary

ANDS alert aims to achieve a substantial reduction in flood damage, disaster risk, losses in lives, loss of economic ,physical and social assets of people , communities and country.

How We Addressed This Challenge

To achieve our goal, we developed a system that will do:

  1. Global Flood Prediction and Warning
  2. Flood mapping and Flood Assessment

Floods are far and away the most common natural disaster worldwide and and account for most death. According to World Disaster Report, most deaths are caused by flood. It causes more than $40 billion damages worldwide annually. It takes a lot of money to repair everything back to normal.

Floods can also traumatize victims and their families for long periods of time. The loss of loved ones has deep impacts, especially on children. Displacement from one's home, loss of property and disruption to business and social affairs can cause continuing stress. For some people the psychological impacts can be long lasting.


But flood damages and death risk could be reduced by taking preparations before the occurrence of flood. Research shows that flood preparations often experience 70% less property damage when flooding occurred.


SO, ANDS alert gives alert to its user before the occurrence of flood so that they could move to a safer place along with their family and things. And also users can send alert message to their beloved one's through this system. After flood, users give their information about their locality, can provide an image showing the damage and give the quantity of damage caused by flood. So the about all places will be available globally and helps to estimate flood damage globally.

How We Developed This Project

To lessen the sufferings of people during flood inspire us to choose this challenge.

Development Process:

At first we created a weather forecasting interface. Then we created flood predicting interface for predicting flood.

Tools used:

  • Android studio
  • Java programming language
