G Abstract - Natural disasters, driven by changes in climate and topography, pose significant risks to human life and economic stability. Events such as earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, and cyclones result in substantial ecological damage and loss of life. With climate change accelerating, these disasters are becoming increasingly unpredictable, particularly in vulnerable regions like forests and deserts. This study introduces an IoT-enabled smart system designed to provide real-time alerts and manage sandstorms and landslides more effectively. The system integrates IoT technologies with automated alert mechanisms to deliver timely warnings via mobile devices. It employs various sensors, including accelerometers and inclinometers to monitor ground movement for landslide detection, and particulate matter (PM) sensors, anemometers, and humidity sensors to detect sandstorm conditions. Utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies, the system provides real-time updates and precise location data. Enhanced communication and situational awareness enable efficient emergency response and resource deployment. This innovative approach aims to improve survival rates, facilitate faster rescue operations, and strengthen disaster preparedness, particularly in remote, disaster-prone areas.
