Abstract: Floods are the most damaging natural disaster in this world. On the occasion of heavy flood, it can destroy the community and killed many lives. The government would spend billions of dollars to recover the affected area. It is crucial to develop a flood control system as a mechanism to reduce the flood risk. Providing a quick feedback on the occurrence of the flood is necessary for alerting resident to take early action such as evacuate quickly to a safer and higher place. As a solution, this paper propose a system that is not only able to detect the water level but also able to measure the rise speed of water level and alerted the resident. Waterfall model is adopted as the methodology in this project. Raspberry Pi is used to collect data from the water sensor and transmit the data to GSM module for sending an alert via SMS. The analysis will be done to show how the Raspberry Pi will be integrated with the smartphone to give an alert. The system is tested in an experiments consist of two different environment in order to ensure that the system is able to provide accurate and reliable data. The project is an IoT-based which significantly in line with the Industrial Revolution 4.0, supporting the infrastructure of Cyber-Physical System.
