In a world increasingly affected by natural disasters, proactive monitoring and swift response are more important than ever. At Packetworx, we are proud to introduce our IoT Disaster Management System (IDMS) Solution, designed to empower disaster resilience. This cutting-edge technology ensures real-time data collection and analysis, enabling faster and more informed decision-making.
IDMS Overview
- Shift from traditional reactive to proactive disaster approach
- Enable real-time weather monitoring, data analysis, and early warning systems
- Mitigate the impact of natural disasters.
- Empower disaster management to make informed decisions, reducing the devastating effects of natural calamities.
IDMS Package
Our IDMS Solutions integrates a range of innovative devices, each designed to provide precise and actionable data:
packetSENSE WEATHER Monitoring Device: This comprehensive weather monitoring device measures critical environmental parameters, including temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, air pressure, and precipitation. It utilizes advanced sensors such as thermometers, hygrometers, barometers, and rain gauges to deliver accurate data for real-time analysis.
packetSENSE Outdoor Air Quality: Focused on air quality monitoring, this device tracks dust levels (PM1, PM2.5, and PM10), temperature, and humidity. The data is collected at specified, allowing for continuous assessment of outdoor air quality, crucial for public health.
packetSENSE Rainfall: Specifically crafted for rainfall monitoring. It continuously collects data on rainfall intensity (e.g., inches per hour) and total accumulated rainfall, helping authorities respond quickly to potential flood threats.
packetSENSE Submersible and packetSENSE Ultrasonic Proximity Level 10m: These flood monitoring devices provide precise water level, distance, and depth measurements. By delivering reliable and accurate data, they support effective flood management and response strategies.
Use Case: Enhancing Project NOAH in Quezon City
To address the persistent challenge and enhance the capabilities of Project NOAH (Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards), the UP Resilience Institute (UPRI) partnered with GEOS and Packetworx to deploy Smart IoT Sensors in areas of Quezon City that are frequently inaccessible or heavily flooded during the rainy season. This strategic deployment empowers the Local Government Unit to make informed decisions and issue timely alerts.
GEOS introduced a s Smart Submersible Water Level Monitoring Devices capable of providing real-time updates once the water level surpasses the 1 cm threshold, these devices continuously measure water levels with remarkable accuracy.
In addition to the monitoring devices, GEOS installed robust Gateways to ensure reliable data transmission. These Gateways, equipped with Ethernet and 3G/4G connectivity and failover support, relay data from the sensors to the user’s dashboard. This connectivity enables users to assess the situation promptly and formulate appropriate responses, ensuring that communities are better protected.
Significant Benefits and Impact
The implementation of Project NOAH, supported by our IDMS Solutions, has already demonstrated remarkable results. Analysis of data from the Quezon City Risk Profile reveals a notable 35.70% reduction in the cost of damages following the implementation of Project NOAH. Remarkably, this reduction was achieved when the project was only 60% complete by 2017. The potential for further damage reduction in flood-related disasters is substantial, with an estimated $2.30B or at least 60% reduction anticipated upon the project’s full implementation.
During the ceremonial launch and handover event on June 13, 2023, attended by representatives from QCDRRMO, GEOS, UPRI, and Packetworx, Mr. Mahar Lagmay commended the IoT Sensors, acknowledging their significant contribution to enabling Local Government Units (LGUs) to monitor flooded or submerged areas effectively.
