Proje Özeti
Earthquakes can severely damage communication infrastructure, making it difficult for emergency teams and affected communities to stay connected. This research proposes a resilient communication framework that combines Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), LoRa technology, and GDPR-compliant data management to restore communication quickly after an earthquake. In the proposed system, UAVs provide temporary aerial communication coverage, while LoRa enables long-range, low-power communication between emergency responders, IoT sensors, and affected people. Cloud and edge platforms securely process and manage data using GDPR principles, including encryption, access control, and data minimisation. The research aims to develop a secure, reliable, and rapidly deployable communication network that improves emergency response, supports real-time decision-making, protects personal data, and strengthens community resilience during post-earthquake recovery.
