Disaster Prevention and Hazard Mitigation Alert System (DPHMAS)

Anything dangerous or damaging, such as an accident, that suddenly or

unexpectedly occurs and requires quick action. The emergency action is one that is

immediately performed or planned, and not in the normal way, because an emergency

has taken place. Any unusual and potentially dangerous or difficult circumstances easy

to find. The concept of alert is a state of awareness about what is happening to one's

environment, and often causes a person to be ready to respond quickly to a potentially

dangerous situation. A system is delineated by its spatial and temporal boundaries,

surrounded and shaped by its surroundings, defined by its structure and purpose and

expressed in its workings.

Disaster Prevention and Hazard Mitigation Alert System (DPHMAS) is used to

alert authorities to transmit alerts through the systems of radio, cable, satellite and

wireline communication. There are areas that does not have enough access to

emergency alert systems Disaster Prevention and Hazard Mitigation Alert System

(DPHMAS) are mostly used by the government to deliver the emergency information

such as weather information to affected communities.

The main objectives are to reassure the safety of the people around the remote-

controlled areas, to have a faster response to the people affected by a certain crisis at a

certain area and to alarm everyone when unexpected circumstances happened and

needs an immediate assistance.

The system for emergency warning consists of light, an alarm and a solar panel.

In remote control areas, this alert system is located at lamp posts. Solar panel is used
because some areas do not have reliable electricity and the Disaster Prevention and

Hazard Mitigation Alert System will be the one to supply energy. The warning or siren

makes a very loud noise whenever an emergency happens, the sound decibel varies

depending on the number of the alert level it is.

Introduction
Anything dangerous or damaging, such as an accident, that suddenly or
unexpectedly occurs and requires quick action. The emergency action is one that is
immediately performed or planned, and not in the normal way, because an emergency
has taken place. An emergency is a condition that places safety, life, property or
environment at immediate risk. Most emergencies require immediate intervention to
prevent a deterioration of the situation, but treatment may not be feasible in some
cases, and only afterwards organizations may be able to provide palliative care.

Any unusual and potentially dangerous or difficult circumstances easy to find.

The concept of alert is a state of awareness about what is happening to one's
environment, and often causes a person to be ready to respond quickly to a potentially
dangerous situation. A state of careful observation and preparation particularly for threat
or opportunity. A collection of things that work together as system parts or as network
interconnections. A system is delineated by its spatial and temporal boundaries,
surrounded and shaped by its surroundings, defined by its structure and purpose and
expressed in its workings. A collection of connected objects or devices which work
together.

During times of national, federal, regional and local emergencies, reliable public
alarm and warning instruments are important to save lives and protect property. The
Disaster Prevention and Hazard Mitigation Alert System (DPHMAS) is used to alert
authorities to transmit alerts through the systems of radio, cable, satellite and wireline
communication. There are times that we don’t expect crisis. Unexpected and dangerous
situations that happens should be dealt with as soon as possible to avoid these
circumstances.
 There are areas that does not have enough access to emergency alert systems.
Disaster Prevention and Hazard Mitigation Alert System (DPHMAS) are mostly used by
the government to deliver the emergency information such as weather information to
affected communities. These information were usually delivered through radio and
television. During times of local, national and even international emergencies, these
warning tools are essential to save lives and protect properties.

RELATED LITERATURE

Disaster has emerged as an important issue during the last decade. As illustrated
in the media, without warning, terrorist attacks, natural disasters and infrastructure
failures can occur, causing disastrous results for an unprepared population. Malaysians
are increasingly exposed to disasters, especially landslides and floods. Nevertheless,
questions about the preparedness of people for disasters and the degree to which they
are prepared, covered and equipped to deal with emergencies they may experience can
be posed. This paper addresses Malaysians ' level of disaster preparedness from a
survey of 346 people to determine their views of disaster issues and their attitudes
improving preparedness for the disaster. The results show that while there is a high
degree of confidence at surface level, with respondents believing to be aware of the
disaster problems and the willingness to use many of the applicable protection
measures, a deeper examination shows that there are several places where there is a
lack of appropriate knowledge and understanding. The study presents the role of ICT as
a recommendation for Malaysians and the Malaysian government in the form of
information management systems as a tool to improve disaster preparedness. The
report is timely for the public to prevent, cope with and potentially survive a catastrophe,
in particular for the localcommunity (Magiswary, D. 2010).
As Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAs) and other new technologies have been
deployed, research investments, in large part supported by the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS), have provided some insight into questions around the use of
new technologies for alerting. Nonetheless, in order to reach the aforementioned alarm
and warning system, additional research questions regarding the use and design of
WEA as well as emerging systems will need to be addressed.Because alerts and
notifications are fundamentally interdisciplinary, both a social science phenomenon
(their aim is to alter public behaviour) and a technological phenomenon (technology is
needed for assessment and dissemination) this research agenda covers a wide range
of socio-technical issues and highlights the need for cooperation between social and
behavioral scientists and technologists (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering
and Medicine, 2018).

2. To have a faster response to the people affected by a certain crisis at a
certain area
3. To alarm everyone when unexpected circumstances happened and needs an

METHODOLOGY
The Disaster Prevention and Hazard Mitigation Alert System (DPHMAS) consists
light, an alarm and a solar panel. This alert system is installed in lamp posts in remote
control areas. The researchers also used solar panel because some areas doesn’t have
stable electricity and it will be the one to provide energy for the Disaster Prevention and
Hazard Mitigation Alert System (DPHMAS). Since the energy from the sun goes directly
to the battery installed, the researchers decided to convert it directly into light energy for
the lamp post. The reserved energy isn’t always used because there isn’t always an
emergency and converting it into light for everyday use is the best way to use the
reserved energy. The alarm or the siren makes a very loud noise whenever there is an
emergency, the decibel of the sound changes depending on what alert level number it
is.
