Abstract
Flood is the most common nature disaster in Malaysia which happens nearly every year in Malaysia. The reason is due to geographical location of the Malaysia which experiences monsoon season every year. The effects of flooding include damage to home, shops and industries. In this project, a low cost automated flood detector system is proposed. This automated flood detector system consist of monitoring system which used to alert about the upcoming flood. The automated flood detector system uses a water level sensor, flowrate and rain drop sensor for flood prediction that can be displayed to the user simultaneously. A microcontroller Arduino UNO is utilized in the project to control all the sensor and collect data. For communication part, ESP 8266 WIFI module is used to send data such as speed of the raindrop, flowrate of the water and water level to online database that can be monitored easily where ever you are. Buzzer is included to give warning for the people nearby. In order to check the water level at night, LED strips is installed near the river bank to indicate as the water level.
