To save the life and properties first step to know where it happens and what is the current scenario of that place. To get these information social media plays a key role. In this article, we explores a detailed overview on Kerala flood situation which happened in late July 2018, severe flooding affected the Kerala very badly. In this article, we proposed a system to detection of real-time help needed to people based on different tweets related to Kerala flood.
