In the fresh, hilly district of IDUKKI, where the beauty of nature meets frequent danger, the authorities turn to protection technology.
The new high-tech system using artificial intelligence (AI), sensors and satellite maps will soon help to predict landslides, lightning floods, forest fires and drought in real time-part of an ambitious plan to make IDUKKi the most verifiable hill in the disaster.
Innovative resistance and information system IDUKKI (Idris)-first platform for early warning and planning-Bee this monsoon introduced as a pilot project, said on Tuesday the district collector V. Vigneshwari.
The pilot introduction will begin in Adimals and Rajakkad, two areas of often affected landslides, floods and a growing conflict between people and wild animals, the official edition said.
Idris is the first system of its kind in India, combining real -time data, satellite maps and advanced tools such as AI to send early warnings for natural disasters such as landslides, lightning floods, fires and drought.
The system will help local leaders and government officials to make better and faster decisions. It does this using GIS-based maps to lead, where roads, buildings and water systems-SE should be built, regarding people and nature, the officials said.
The system develops under the leadership of the Office for Disaster Management (DDMA).
The system uses AI, sensors and satellite maps to monitor and predict hazard, such as landslides, lightning floods, forest fires and drought in real time, the edition said.
“Forty -six sensors will monitor soil movement, rain and moisture levels. Forty -eight rivers will monitor the water level in key tributaries such as the Thodupuzha and Pamba River.
The alerts will be sent via SMS, Sirens, Radio and Mobile App in Malayalam, English, Tamil, Hinde and Tribal.
“Idris software development and field testing will start soon,” the district collector said.
The aim is to transform idukki into the most of the Indian disaster, which in India is the most durable hill by combining sensors, risk layers based on GIS and machine learning, added.
Officials said Idukki is a very prone to disasters.
Since 2000, more than 600 landslides have been facing repetitive floods, growing incidents of wild animal attacks, dangerous structures and forest fires, they said.
With regard to all these risks, a comprehensive multi -day monitoring system is set up in the district, the officials added.
