Innovation technology for disaster management

The development of technology has been so rapid and the application of technology in our life become a necessity. The vocational education is one of the supporting factors for the application of technology in Indonesia. One example of the technology application of vocational education is the application of technology for disaster management using ZigBee technology. And ZigBee have good respond to collect data from sensor and sending to the coordinator with long distance from disaster location. This application is one of the solutions to disaster management problems in Indonesia. Because the mostly disaster management is done in conventional ways in Indonesia. In this research we make a design of ZigBee based flood disaster prototype and the outcome of this research is to know the effectiveness of the system to detect water level, water velocity and dissolved oxygen in the water. By using water condition data it can be determined whether there has been a flooding. This research very useful for the people to know early information of flooding dangerous so the people have time to prepare and save their life or property.
