A Flood of Ideas
HAM SOS COM
Summary
Using NASA data our goal is to save coastal areas people's life from natural disasters, most of the time coastal areas people didn’t get real-time information lacking good communication infrastructure. We develop a low-cost FM transmitter which is collect data from NASA earth observation satellites and spread it by FM frequency it covers 1-2.5 KM. We will use NASA earth observation satellite data form the GPM, Suomi-NPP, Aqua, Terra, and EO-1 Satellites.
How We Addressed This Challenge
At a rough estimate, more than 200 million people worldwide live along coastlines less than 5 meters above sea level. By the end of the 21st century, this figure is estimated to increase to 400 to 500 million. Coastal areas are widely known as a land of natural disasters and are highly vulnerable to flood, cyclone, and river erosion. By the effects of these disasters, the country is now permanently in distress. Most of the disaster time our all communication is broken. For that reason, rural areas people didn’t get real-time information. Red Cross and CPP teams are working for to people make aware they using hand mick, whistle, etc. HAM radio operators set emergency stations for post-disaster situations but these systems are not real-time. For saving life we need real-time information. When all communication goes down but radio communication still working in that situation. So we make a plan to using the radio signal. We work for saving coastal area people from natural disaster like as flood cyclone etc. This challenge is also for develop something new for natural disaster so this challenge directly match with our project
How We Developed This Project
Using NASA data our goal is to save coastal areas people's life from natural disasters, most of the time coastal areas people didn’t get real-time information lacking of good communication infrastructure. We develop a low-cost FM transmitter which is collect data from NASA earth observation satellites and spread it by FM frequency it covers 1-2.5 KM. We will use NASA earth observation satellite data form the GPM, Suomi-NPP, Aqua, Terra, and EO-1 Satellites.
Our compact transverse device with solar power & the weather monitoring system. We can set this device in the coastal areas. This device receives data from satellite using UHF Band. IT will always stay in “SLIP MODE”, it will act when getting a signal from the satellite and transmit the FM band signal before disaster coming. We have a mobile Application which features are:
Our app can detect nearest SOS COM device station.
When a nearby device transmits signal, our app can provide notification.
User can get his local area weather condition and get upcoming disaster alert.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
According to NASA DATA, NASA'S have Earth-observing Satellites they provide information about the situation on the ground that can only be obtained from the perspective of space. These satellites transmit signal 1700-1710 MHz. Synthetic aperture radar, or SAR can scan the Earth's surface at night and in all weather conditions by transmitting a radar signal to the ground that reflects back to the source. They used the satellite data to measure and map the rate of rainfall, detect areas with power outages, and predict soil moisture, a factor in flash flooding. The high-regulation ASTET and Advanced land imager sensors mapped the extent of flood inundation as the foods evolved. NASA supported scientists modeled the predicted extent of flooding and mapped the actual extent for FEMA.
