Project Overview

Project Title

Design and Development of a Smart Flood Alert and Community Response System for selected coastal communities in Region 4, Guyana

Goal

To protect coastal communities in Region 4 from flood-related harm by deploying a Smart Flood Alert and Community Response System that delivers real-time monitoring, rapid automated warnings, and improved emergency preparedness over a 12-month period.

Project Objectives

  1. Design, develop, and deploy a real-time flood monitoring system including at least 10 water-level sensors and a centralised digital dashboard accessible to the Civil Defence Commission — by Month 7.
  2. Implement an automated SMS alert system capable of reaching at least 500 registered residents within 2 minutes of flood-threshold detection — by Month 8.
  3. Train at least 50 community members and conduct at least 3 simulation exercises to improve disaster readiness — by Month 10.
  4. Improve community emergency response efficiency by reducing average response time by at least 30% compared to existing informal systems — by Month 12.

Key Stakeholders

  • Civil Defence Commission (CDC)
  • Georgetown Mayor and City Council
  • Regional Democratic Council — Region 4
  • Neighbourhood Democratic Councils (NDCs)
  • E-Networks — SMS partner via TextBlast
  • Hydrometeorological Service of Guyana
  • Community leaders and emergency response volunteers
