Sana

During disasters, response times are typically long, resulting in insufficient and delayed communication, which can result in the loss of many lives. There is very little that the people can do at their level for early preparedness, protection, and mitigation.

So Sana is the first compact, modular, scalable, IoT-enabled group of smart connected devices strapped to a street light pole that will give mitigation instructions in local languages in case of fire disasters or earthquakes in slum areas. Street lights are present in almost every society and are consistently encountered everywhere which is why it is our target object. This device will sense disasters like fires, earthquakes, floods, etc, and will ring an alarm to notify everybody about it . It warns the neighboring people of possible disasters through intercommunication among these devices.

Most people in the slums usually don't have enough time to respond and since it is congested they can't find a safe way out in time. This device will detect fire through infrared sensors and give instant mitigation and protection instructions in the local language of that locality so that people can react instantly. This would allow for faster and more efficient communication and updates and individuals can act at their own decentralized level.
