I. INTRODUCTION
Flood happen everywhere in the world, they can be completely disturbing the peoples and the economy of the country. The system
is much advantaged for protecting lives of humans and animals. The proposed model is utilized for monitoring of the water level,
flow in rivers and the same can be used for measuring level at dam or on river bridges. The measured value are regularly updated
on cloud which is very much useful to send flood alerts to consist authority and people for faster action. The project mainly
constitutes a wireless sensor to monitor water condition. The parameters measured using sensors are processed using raspberry pi.
This information transferred from corresponding node to alerting system. Cloud (API) is used as a data logger The alert
management system can be used to observe, record and send a message to the people before disaster knockouts.
Android application in system, minimize the impact natural phenomenon can leave. That is why creating a android application
specifically to monitor flood condition can greatly help those who are travelling or on who’s their way to somewhere. Notify
peoples about the condition of the roads ahead of time will lessen the hassle of their travel, and it will decrease accidents caused due
to floods.
II. PROPOSEDSYSTEM
The proposed system can be implemented using Raspberry pi.The proposed system block diagram is shown in the Fig. 1.The
Raspberry Pi receives Information from connected input sensors, processes the data . Raspberry pi will send the values measured by
sensors to cloud.
C. Raspberry PI
The Raspberry pi is a single computer board with ATM card size, that can be used for many tasks that your computer does, like
games, word processing and also to play HD video. It was established by the foundation which is from United Kingdom.The board
comprises a program memory , processor and graphics chip,UART, CPU, GPU, Ethernet port, GPIO pins ,power source connector
and interfaces for other external devices. It also requires storage, for that we use an SD flash memory card. So that raspberry pi
board will boot from this SD card similarly as a computer boots up into windows from its memory.Essential hardware
specifications of raspberry pi board mainly include SD card containing Linux OS, power supply and video cable. Optional
hardware include mouse, net connection, WiFi adaptor is used and internet connection to Model B is LAN.

D. LED
LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. It is a semiconductor light source that emits light when current pass through it. Electrons
recombine with holes, release energy in the form of photons. The color of the LED light is determined by the energy used for
electrons to cross the band gap.LEDs were often used as indicator lamps, replacing incandescent bulbs, and in seven-segment
displays. Now developments in LED’s have produced white light LEDs suitable for home and outdoor area lighting. LEDs have
led to new sensors and displays, technology. Here in this system LEDs useful for indicating edges of bridge.

E. Cloud
In the simple terms, cloud is store and accessing data over the web instead of computer's memory. The cloud is like metaphor for
the Internet Cloud computing, often called simply "the cloud," involves delivering data, applications, photos ore over the Internet to
data centers. The cloud is a huge, interconnected powerful servers that performs services for people and businesses.Once the data
gets to the cloud, software processes it and then decide to platform an action, such as sending an alert.
V. RESULTS
We have Successfully design effective system for flood monitoring and alerting.
VI. CONCLUSION
As India faced recent devastating floods in Maharashtra, there arise a need of efficient flood monitoring and alerting system.
The system discussed in this paper is beneficial to people for decision making and evacuation planning in floods.
