A Comprehensive Framework for Harnessing IoT and 5G for Enhanced Disaster Response

Abstract

The growing frequency of natural and manufactured catastrophes necessitates urgently developing efficient response systems to lessen their effects and save lives. This article provides a complete disaster response architecture based on the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G technologies. The suggested paradigm tackles fundamental flaws in emergency response systems, such as delay, data overload, and fragmented communication routes. The framework attempts to develop a more coordinated, real-time response mechanism by exploiting the high-speed, low-latency capabilities of 5G networks and IoT devices' sensing and data-gathering capabilities. The framework's key components are as follows: advanced sensing capabilities for immediate and accurate data collection from affected areas, centralized data analytics to assess the severity and prioritize actions, secure and real-time communication channels for all stakeholders, and dynamic resource allocation based on evolving scenarios. Theseingredients work together to not only give instant comfort but also to initiate long-term healing processes quickly. The article examines the framework's technical design, data security problems, and prospective applications, including proof-of-concept demos and case studies. The integrated approach optimizes decision-making and increases the overall efficacy of disaster management techniques by making the best use of available resources. This study adds to continuing efforts to harness new technology for societal well-being and lays the groundwork for future disaster response system advancements.
