Abstract :
The paper will develop a flood monitoring and warning system by integrating meteorological and hydrological data. The mechanism for gathering, detecting, managing, examining, and distributing data will be established in order to convey urgent messages, during the time of crisis. The goal is to prevent catastrophe occurrence. The development of algorithm to extract the inundated areas will be operated over the user-friendly web based interface. It is a significant improvement method for the flood alert and warning system. It overcomes the fix cost of operation and platform issues. It will reduce the operating expenses and time consuming. Furthermore, it does not require technical expertise to predict the rise of flood disasters.
