Abstract

The Tsunami is a natural disaster which can occur over a rapid period of time. The timely report and the responses are very much important to reduce the losses. Certain methods are being followed to detect and inform the public. One of the reliable methods is the WSN. The wireless node sense the vibration of the earth crust, the changes noted will be given to the controller. The controller sends the information to the base station through the radio waves. The wireless sensor devices are equipped with the micro controller, a small RAM for data storage, a flash memory to hold the program, Wireless transceiver, antennae, ADC Converter, and a power source. Our objective is to study the different sensor network protocols to resolve the issue, thus to identify the energy competent wireless sensor network for the considerable improvement in the tsunami disaster management. We also analyze the WSN protocol based on metrics such as Energy competence, location awareness, and network lifetime.
