Early Warning Early Response Disaster Management
Disaster Overview
A disaster is a natural or man-made (or technological) hazard resulting in an event of substantial extent causing significant physical damage or destruction, loss of life, or drastic change to the environment.

Telemetry and the Internet
Telemetry technology allows things to be measured or monitored from a distance.
MQ Telemetry provides reliable, secure messaging features that can be scaled to include thousands of clients and that can interface with other technology within the enterprise, such as WebSphere Message Broker and WebSphere Application Server.
Cognitive Radio
Cognitive radio (CR) is a form of wireless communication in which a transceiver can intelligently detect which communication channels are in use and which are not, and instantly move into vacant channels while avoiding occupied ones. This optimizes the use of available radio-frequency (RF) spectrum while minimizing interference to other users.
Cognitive Radio System
Introduction
EWERDIMA is a Radio based, mobile and web based platform that enables the
rescuers and humanitarian organizations during crisis get responses on victims and
communicate warnings on disasters.
MQTT Protocol
MQTT is an extremely simple and lightweight messaging protocol that uses a publish/subscribe architecture designed to implement, with up to thousands of remote clients capable of being supported by a single server.
MQTT minimizes network bandwidth and device resource requirements while attempting to ensure reliability and delivery. This approach makes the MQTT protocol particularly well-suited for connecting machine to machine (M2M), which is a critical aspect of the emerging concept of an Internet of Things.
WebSphere MQ Telemetry extends the reach to connect the smallest and most remote devices and sensors to the enterprise messaging network.
How Mobile Networks work
What Happens when No Network Connectivity
A rebroadcast Disaster mesh is created to keep the messages in flow identifying signals of response alerts.
This keeps the message in sync with the Disaster Rescue Teams
