3 Overview Tsunami waves are killer waves radiating from epicenter slammed into the coastline snatching people out to sea. It is a life threatening wave train which will cause severe damage to the population residing at coastal areas. In order to save the life of people, efficient and effective communication mechanism need to be employed to issue warning whenever required Effective communication model to Alert and evacuate general public incase of tsunami Evacuate the population from coastal area by tsunami alert through Handheld Device A web portal has been developed to issue warning for registered users and flash live information on screen Registered device will be tracked to issue warning or alert if the subscriber reaches danger prone area where there is a possibility of tsunami Tsunami impacts over decades No. of occurrence without damage No. of occurrence without damage No. of occurrence with damage

5 Feasibility Study Let s get Digital Digital communities prioritize the interests of people first, providing service designed to meet the needs of people and their communities. The smart things to discover the knowledge about human life, environment interaction, as well as social inter connection and related behaviours To meet the next wave of mobility by proposing rich mobility solution The Digital Solution that will integrate the exceptional circumstances, intelligent infrastructure, sensors, alert systems and people s location and identity. The innovations of devices we use will make our experiences more personalized, context-aware and valuable and with more mobility and location awareness, we are able to gain insights about users and their behaviours to engage them on a personal level - 5 -

6 Proposed Solution Fisherman should be educated to oblige the instructions and alerts to be followed during tsunami. Route map will also be displayed on the device to evacuate towards safer area The small bracelet like solar waterproof device will be tagged on fisherman's hand will be vibrated during the tsunami warning A small light in device stick to all the directions will sparkle and instruct the fisherman to ride their boats towards the route of the light to be followed This device will depict the evacuation plan to move out of the danger zone. This will also help the blind and deft person by simply vibrating if the vibration mode is set on with the alarm. The Tsunami Regional centres across all the coastal areas should be equipped with collection of fisherman data to monitor status in sea - 6 -

8 Tsunami Bracelet Evacuation Algorithm Effective Tsunami Warning Evacuation Algorithm( ) { Track the Tsunami warning from Warning Center Spot the Earthquake Hypocenter and trace the location { Date <<Date of Earthquake>> Epicentre <<Place of Underwater Earthquake>> Time <<Time of Earthquake in IST & UST>> Depth <<Depth of Earthquake underwater>> Magnitude << Magnitude in Richter scale>> Latitude <<Latitude of epicentre in degrees>> Longitude << Latitude of epicentre in degrees>> } Scrutinize the contact list based on the area of location Collect the fisherman data from database Identify and send the Warning message to subscribers, Fisherman, blind, deaf and common public While ( Warning Issued = Identified Subscribers) { Earthquake Location <Area> Magnitude <Richter Scale> Date and Time <GMT> Tsunami Message <Warning/Watch/Advisory> Areas to be affected <Region> Tsunami hit Time <IST or UST> Evacuation Route Map <Image> Evacuation Path in Bracelet <GREEN> Prohibited Path in Bracelet <RED> } If ( Acknowledgement = Total Subscribers ) { Warning Issue Successful Evacuation Route map delivery status Periodic watch over Tsunami events If needed, Revoke/Cancel Tsunami Warning } Else { Trace the Subscriber Base Station Try again sending warning Alert Ensure Acknowledgement } Extract the Reports to analyze the delivery status Continuous monitor/watch over the impacted Region Update the site by flash live information frequently Issue warning to other public media for Broadcast } - 8 -

9 Tsunami Alert for Registered Users Subscriber has to register their details to receive the notification/alert service through handheld device In case of any tsunami threat over the coastal region, the alert message will be sent to device stating details about the under water earthquake epicentre along with magnitude, area to be affected with the time approximately. Once the subscriber receives alert message of tsunami warning, they can evacuate from the spot - 9 -

10 Tracing the Mobility of Device

11 Transmission of Alert - Secure

12 Speed of Tsunami

13 Tsunami Travel Time

14 Tsunami Hit Time Coastal Regions of Bay of Bengal TTT (In Mins) Tsunami Hit Time Time (In IST) Port Blair, Andaman Islands 53 07:21 Colombo, Sri Lanka 96 08:04 Chennai, Tamil Nadu :16 Bhuvaneshwar, Orissa :23 Vizag, Andhra Pradesh 96 08:

15 Integrated Tsunami Warning Portal The web portal has been developed to issue tsunami warning for the registered users who were moving towards the coastal area where the possibilities of tsunami. This site is equipped with live data sources from different regions and information are updated frequently. Live Information will also be flash along with Tsunami warning. 24/7 helpdesk is available to help the general public to know more information related to tsunami impact over the area. Live Data for Earthquake/Tsunami related info and time of hit towards the coastal region Issue Warning or Watch in-case of Tsunami and trace their mobility towards the danger zone Issue warning to Fisherman, blind, deaf and other general public towards tsunami prone zone Evacuation route plan off the coast and safer zone for fisherman at sea Latest information from other Tsunami warning centres across the world and 24/7 help desk for emergency information

16 Live Tsunami Warning Analysis This site has a provision to view the live information from other tsunami warning center across the globe. It also have the history of underwater earth quake details along with magnitude and details of tsunami over the particular region. Admin will be sole moderator for this site and information is updated frequently by 24/7. The main motto is to save the lives, damage or destruction. Since the Bulk SMS are sent through SMPP Protocol, the acknowledgment can also be verified whether the alert message reaches the subscriber. If it failed, the VLR needs to be tracked to locate the subscriber and resend the SMS through particular SMSC. Overall report can also be generated to monitor the status of the alert message either delivered of failed Fisherman location point at mid sea will be determined based on the satellite images or signalling received through their handheld bracelet to predict the time of hit at their respective points. This dynamic time updates help them to plan among them to locate for the safer zone Device should be equipped with local time conversion and also native language conversion for easy understanding Direction of the evacuation would be clearly depicted with the exact Evacuation map where the general public or fisherman need to locate towards the safer zone Fisherman location point at mid sea will be determined based on the satellite images or signaling received through their handheld bracelet to predict the time of hit at their respective points. This dynamic time updates help them to plan among them to locate for the safer zone

17 Enhancements Marine Border Alert Bracelet The Alert should be issued based on fisherman s boat reaches to the longitudinal point towards coastal border of neighbouring nation Fisherman should be educated to oblige the instructions and alerts to be followed in-case nearing IMBL. Route map will also be displayed on the device to evacuate towards Indian Region who are nearing IMBL (International Maritime Border Line) The small bracelet like solar waterproof device will be tagged on fisherman's hand will be vibrated if a fisherman reached towards IMBL. A small light over the device stick to all the directions will be en-lighted and instruct the fisherman to ride their boats towards the route of the light and help them to refrain from getting entered into neighbouring border The device would be programmed in such a way that the speed of the boat is controlled if it reaches towards 1km from IMBL. Further movement towards the IMBL direction would be restricted and engine of the boat switched off to prevent further movement towards neighbouring territory
