Protegiendo las comunidades: Sistema de alarma inteligente ante inundaciones utilizando tecnología Arduino

Abstract

The research shows the risk posed by floods in Panama, affecting numerous regions of the country and leaving multiple consequences on the population. The design of an alarm was proposed as a strategy to reduce flood risks, bringing multiple benefits to the communities. The purpose was to design an alarm system using Arduino technology as a flood prevention measure to protect human lives in Panama. The study was carried out under a quantitative and documentary type nature, developed through bibliographic design, with a descriptive level. The population of interest was Panamanian people in areas prone to flooding, such as: Chiriquí, Bocas del Toro, Panama City, West Panama and Darien. The conclusion reached was that the ability of Arduino technology to provide an accessible and effective solution in flood prevention can contribute to the reduction of the negative socioeconomic impact suffered by the areas most prone to this disaster. However, limitations were noted such as the lack of testing in real environments and situations and the lack of studies about the specific circumstances in the most vulnerable areas. The study showed that the design of an alarm system using Arduino technology has the potential to be a great strategic tool for effective flood prevention. For this reason, a field study is recommended to evaluate the effectiveness and to be able to adapt this system to the needs of each community.
