Newspaper report on OD victims turns heads, but will it change minds?

Natural calamities like earthquake,flood ,volcanic eruptions , landslides ,avalanches ,etc are unavoidable circumstances .Occurance of such natural ailments is unpredictablecausing huge damageto resources and structures which is unavoidable .Measurement, eleventh hour detection, precautionary and rescue methods are onlypossible options .A proper rescue can do milestones in savinglife of people under such circumstances. In messina region of Newyork death tolls were 5000 during earthquake, nearly halfthe population. In Utharkhand during 2013 a landslide caused lots of people buried under earth. Newspaper report stated that if people were detected earlier death tolls would have been quite low. In this paper we design a rescue robotic platform which can act more quickly in detection location mapping diagnosing status post earthquake, avalanches andlandslides. The robot platformdesigned isfor disastermanagementsystemduringavalanches ,earthquakes , and landslidesfor accurate andfasterdetectionofhuman trapped inside without live interaction and notcausingdamagedue to increasedload of rescuer onthemwhiledetectionusinga robotic platformcontrolled remotely
