Developing Multidisciplinary and Multi-Sectoral Heat-Early Warning System to Augment Urban Resilience to Humid Heat
Abstract: Heat waves (HWs) or extreme heat events (EHEs), aggravated by the global temperature rise, present unprecedented challenges to both human health and urban infrastructure. Recently, regions in India have been suffering from unbearable conditions due to humid heat events. Coastal states like Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gangetic West Bengal have faced extreme heat, coupled with high humidity levels. Current strategies for managing extreme heat mainly focus on resilience to …

Impact of Landslides on Water Resource Management: Challenges and Mitigation Strategies
Abstract: Heavy rainfall often causes water to accumulate at the base of mountains, leading to soil saturationand the formation of mud with significantly diminished shear strength. This weakened soil conditioncannot withstand the shear stress imposed by the weight of the mountain, resulting in slope instabilityand subsequent landslides. Such landslides not only pose risks to infrastructure and human safety butalso have substantial effects on water resource management. Landslides disrupt natural water flow,cause …

Landslide Monitoring, Detection and Warning System by Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)
Abstract: Wireless sensor network (WSN) is one of the most hopeful field and has uncountable applications in the real-time systems. Execution of WSN in real-time system for landslide detection and warning system is discussed in the present paper. Sliding of rocks and soil is called landslide. It is triggered mostly because of heavy rainfall or melting of snow and can cause loss of lives and property. Using real-time monitoring the landslide …

GIS-Based Assessment of Flash Flood Hazard and Community Resilience in the Melamchi River Basin, Nepal
Abstract: Abstract: Flash floods are one of the most destructive natural hazards in mountainous regions due to their its rapid onset, high velocities, and short warning time. Erratic rainfall, cloudbursts, landslide, and climate-induced hydrological variability are the prime factors to trigger flash floods in the Himalayan region. The Melamchi River Basin in central Nepal has witness recurrent flash flood events, most notably the catastrophic 2021 flood. An Integrated hazard assessment and …

Integrated Disaster Risk Management-Specific to Cyclone and Flood-prone area
Abstract: In India, disaster management is currently facing a big challenge in decreasing risk in the coastline zone. The community of such an area, which consists primarily of slum and squatter communities, makes the area vulnerable to cyclones, resulting in high susceptibility both directly and indirectly. The purpose of this article is to determine how communities might be better targeted to improve disaster risk reduction strategies. It looks at whether perceived …

“Role of Selecting Active Fire Protection Systems for Industrial Warehouses”
Abstract: Selecting the right Active Fire Protection (AFP) systems for industrial warehouses is crucial for protecting employees, assets, and the surrounding community from the devastating effects of fires. AFP systems are designed to detect and suppress fires or provide a means of egress during an emergency. They encompass systems inclusive of fire sprinklers, fire alarms, and the smoke control systems. Detection systems play a critical role in active fire protection by …

IoT-Based Real-Time Beam Deflection Monitoring for Structural Integrity
Abstract: Abstract Structural health monitoring is essential to ensure the safety of civil engineering constructions. Conventional laser-based methods of deflection measurement are expensive and invasive, especially for historical buildings and hostile environments such as mines and caves. This project aims to design a low-cost, non-invasive IoT-based system using strain gauges to monitor beam deflection in real-time, providing early warning for any potential structural damage. The system is based on using strain …
