Chapter I
In the past three decades, the Philippines has been greatly affected by over 360
disasters which have caused the death of 33,000 people and affected a staggering 120
million. The most destructive of these have been typhoons and floods, causing 80% of all
fatalities, impacting 90% of all people and resulting in 92% of the economic loss (The
World Bank).
Due to the increasing frequency of floods and the demand to develop efficient
means of monitoring and responding to them, the study of flood detection systems has been
a field of research that is expanding. One of nature's most devastating calamities, floods
may seriously harm people, property, and infrastructure. Flood detection systems
are made to identify the presence of flooding and notify the proper authorities so
they may take the necessary precautions to lessen the danger of injury. This paper examines
the condition of flood detection systems now, their benefits and drawbacks, and potential
improvements that may be made. Additionally, it will evaluate previous studies and
literature on the subject of flood detection systems and look at possible research
FDS has been identified as an important tool for early warning of floods and for
reducing flood damage and human casualties (National Centers for Environmental
Information, 2018; Kunkel et al., 2018). By using real-time data from a variety of sensors,

FDS can detect and monitor potential flood events, informing decisions for disaster
management and emergency response such as evacuations and relief efforts. To effectively
use FDS, it is important to understand how the systems work, the data they use, how they
are designed, and how they can be implemented (National Centers for Environmental
device with a monitoring system. Flash floods are so regular in the Philippines, even in
rural areas, that they cause a lot of traffic on the roadways, especially those that can't be
passed by automobiles. So, with this technology, getting an early warning for those routes
that can't be traversed owing to rising floodwaters would be a huge benefit. As a result, the
system will inform them of the routes they may take to escape traffic on their journey to
their homes.

This research focuses on developing a device that provides users with updated
information on flood and high-water levels. This flood detection device is designed to
provide a warning system for areas where it is located. It uses ultrasonic sensors to detect
rising water levels and can record data of the water levels on specific date and time and can
be monitored through our system. We also developed an android application where the user
The location of the streetlight is the primary restriction on the devices. The system
data has a seven-day limitation before it is automatically deleted. The effectiveness of the
system is limited since it depends on having access to electricity and the internet.

the earth and was primarily used in vital military applications. It was developed in 1973 as
a method to overcome old navigation systems. It became fully operational in 1994, at which

Remote Monitoring. Remote monitoring is the process of collecting data from remote
locations and transmitting it to a central location for analysis and reporting. It is used in a
humidity, pressure, and other environmental conditions; the use of cameras to monitor
traffic or security; and the use of GPS to track the location of vehicles. (Techopedia, 2012).
Remote monitoring is the process of using technology to collect data from a remote
location and transmit it to a central monitoring station for analysis. This data will be used
to monitor the performance of equipment, detect potential problems, and provide real-time

Real-Time Monitoring is the process in order to detect and respond to any changes
or anomalies in a timely manner. This will involve collecting data from various sources,
analyzing it, and taking action when necessary. It can also involve alerting personnel when
