Advance Warning System for Landslides
<p>India is the second most affected nation due to global warming. UN's World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), had pegged India’s loss due to this global phenomenon at 238 billion US dollars. A recent estimate by WMO estimated, natural disasters, such as cyclones, floods and droughts have cost India around 87 billion US dollars in 2020 alone.</p> <p>12.6 percent of India’s land area, barring snow covered region, is prone to landslide hazard. In 2021, over 2000 people lost their lives in cyclonic storms, heavy rains, floods and landslides, according to federal Ministry of Earth Sciences. </p> <p>A research lab in Amrita Global University or Amrita Viswa Vidyapeetham in Kerala has developed a first-of-its-kind advanced landslide warning system integrating machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques. It has a sensing system, Internet of Things (IoT) and wireless technology to ensure that the entire system works with least human intervention. The system is capable of monitoring, detecting and forecasting multiple hazards - landslides, earthquakes, floods, forest fires and droughts with minute changes. It can also be used for building management system including dams/reservoirs.</p>
