Emergency Rescue Alert and Notification System for Madrasah (ERANO-MAD)

Abstract

Various incidents have occurred to Tahfiz students in madrasahs located in rural areas due to the difficulty of getting immediately rescue. Of late, this issue has increased progressively, particularly in the events of fire, bullying or sexual harassment or health problems. In some incidents, victims failed to be rescued by the emergency response team, such as ambulance, police, fire brigade or civil defense, it is challenging to get accurate information on the exact location, circumstances of the accident and other important related details. Despite the provision of various technologies, in a few cases, the students in Madrasahs could not utilize technology facilities such as mobile phones to comply with the regulations established by the Ministry of Education. Therefore, this study provides the elucidation to overcome that limitation. Thus, to implement this project, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) alert notifications, and GPS (Global Positioning System) modules are connected to a central system. Triple emergency push buttons were installed. Each button corresponds to different types of emergencies. The push button actives the GSM central system and GPS when triggered by the user. In turn, immediate alert messages were sent to the response teams, namely the school head, police station and fire department. The information on the exact live location and types of incidents were also disseminated.
