Abstract
The past decade has seen a dramatic rise in natural disasters and inclement weather conditions leading to catastrophic loss of human life. In order to curtail the loss of lives in the advent of any disaster, it is important to have a system in place which can alert the general public well in advance so that they can be evacuated from the endangered area before the actual disaster strikes. In this paper we have designed and proposed a ‘Smart Alert’ mobile application which is capable of alerting the users during the development of a disaster or a threat. The proposed system is intended to provide timely help to the affected victims by navigating them to safe place before the disaster strikes. The system provides the alert to user in real time directly on their smartphones and informs them regarding the threat they are under. It further navigates them using a map to the nearest safe house so that they can be rescued by the disaster rescue team. The sole objective of the development of such a system is make sure people get the alert in real time and to ensure that they vacate the endangered area within the stipulated time.
