Enhancing Landslide Risk Management in the City of Guwahati: Implementing an Automated Early Warning System Utilizing Soil Moisture Sensors
Authors: ,
Abstract: Landslides pose a significant threat to human lives, infrastructure and environment, necessitating a landslide Early Warning system. A significant change in the soil moisture sensor value is observed as the time for landslip approaches in rainfall induced landslides. This paper represents an early warning system for the city of Guwahati using a basic automated tool, Zapier. By automating the early warning system, messages can be sent to the people residing in the landslide prone areas. This method is a low cost alternative to other landslide monitoring techniques such as use of retaining walls etc.
