The objective of this paper is to monitor the hazardous areas like volcano by means of WSN and PC. This serves as a safety barrier to detect and to identify potential threats and dangers, such as volcanic eruptions, earthquake etc. Alarm system is included in this design so that the people living around such areas can be evacuated and the lives and premises can be protected. Sensors detect all the volcanic events and the collected volcanic data is transmitted to the receiver section situated far from the field. This data received is stored in the database and forwarded to the internet and any user who is having internet access can get this volcanic data. The distributed users can not only view but also download the current and historical data. If any abnormal event is detected, the alarm system will work and the alerting messages or mails can be sent to the scientist in charge. Sustainability and reliability of sensor networks in extreme environments remain a major research challenge. Network connectivity is unstable which result in data loss. To overcome this problem, RSS based network is designed.
