Sistema de alerta inteligente para apoiar a comunicação e a mobilização de equipes de emergência na Amazônia

Abstract

Weather Extreme Events (WEE) can cause natural disasters because they are often accompanied by dangerous physical activities which cause significant damage to people and properties, including some deaths. A way to soften the damage caused by these disasters is to use Weather Warning System (WWS). These kind of systems can detect an imminent risk and, different types of alerts can be triggered in order to mobilize the emergency personnel in advance. This research aims to help the Amazon Protection System (SIPAM) to solve the communication problem with the alert and mobilization. It is intended, primarily, to assist the Civil Defense with the affected population by WEE. A comparative investigation was performed in ten studies aiming to understand and analyze the main characteristics of a Warning System, which were incorporated into this research, highlighting the support of a Multi-Agent System to assist the WWS, and the use of SMS (Short Message Service) technology and E-mail for sending the alert. System Tests showed that the approach proved promising, with shipping times smaller alerts those found in the literature with a high rate of confirmed users. Also the process of sending the alert factor being faster helps to minimize the effects of EME with the affected population.
