Abstract

Modern Disaster management requires technology to manage disaster mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. Reliable data exchange, interoperability and integration, particularly with the rise of IoT devices is the biggest challenge for disaster management systems, sharing information among civil protection stakeholders working at disaster sites who use different devices and platforms to exchange such information is vital. This requires investigation and design for a disaster Management system to utilize a cloud based IoT framework to address data-interoperability and load balancing issues. In this paper, we have proposed and implemented such cloud based IoT system. Furthermore, a proof of concept has been implemented and evaluated using an android application, an IoT kit and a Cloud based middleware platform that is not only able to exchange data between publishers and subscribers but also able to perform load balancing.
