A Wireless Sensor Network for Weather and Disaster Alarm Systems

In the last few years, the occurrences of natural disasters have been continuing changing our lives, damaging property and life styles in many different ways. In this paper, we present a system that can be used to prevent enormous damage from natural disasters. In this system, a wireless sensor network based on Zigbee/IEEE802.15.4 standard is utilized as a weather station network sending weather information and disasters’ alerts. The weather information is analyzed by using decision tree techniques to announce the disasters’ alerts. This proposed system takes advantage of wireless sensor networks which can send signals over far distances by using a mesh topology, this transfers the data and also consumes low power. Therefore, this system can be installed in locations that are difficult to hardwire or have no access to electricity.
