Sensor Technologies for Disaster Management Information Systems

Abstract

In this report, we present different sensor types that can be used to collect data related to disasters and incidents. This data can be: temperature, humidity, vibration, water level, etc. We have chosen to present LIBELIUM products, just as an example to make easier the understanding of the utility of wireless sensors in disaster management. Some general specifications of the sensor card components will be presented first before the different types of connectivity available in the cards. Then, we present in details the different sensors and their applications.
