Wireless landslide detection and iot based alarming system

Extreme rainfall in August 9, 2019 in Kerala triggered major landslides in many districts like Wayanad and Malappuram, it took numerous lives and caused extensive damage to property. This research work focuses to detect landslides and to alarm people through IOT network. The detection system consists of Wireless Sensor Network with sensors like Geophone, Moisture sensor, accelerometers along with a microcontroller. Geophone senses the land movement and the moisture sensor detects the amount of water seepage through the land. This network is buried inside the soil in landslide prone areas. The data collected in the microcontroller is sent to the IOT platform and is analyzed with reference to the threshold values to detect the landslide. On the onset of landslides people are alerted through instant messaging.
