The Philippines’ vulnerability to climate-related disasters demands innovative
solutions for effective monitoring, preparedness, and response. The eSAGIP system
integrates emerging technologies such as IoT-enabled sensors, machine learning models,
drones, and LoRaWAN communication to provide a comprehensive disaster management
platform. It gathers real-time environmental data—weather conditions, air quality, water
levels, and current speed—and transmits this information for centralized analysis. Machine
learning models, including TCN-LSTM and Gradient Boosting, are used for forecasting
and rescue operation prioritization. A cross-platform mobile and web application delivers
real-time alerts, evacuation guidance, and rescue coordination, while UAVs assist in flood
assessment and navigation.

The system was deployed in Bacoor City, where it proved to be both functional and

reliable. Sensor calibration confirmed high accuracy in data collection, and the TCN-
LSTM model demonstrated strong forecasting performance—particularly in predicting

pressure, temperature, and humidity. Although rainfall prediction showed limitations with
extreme values, it effectively captured overall trends. User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
reflected strong support from disaster response teams, technical experts, and residents, with
82% to 87% satisfaction ratings in functionality, usability, and safety. Users appreciated
its intuitive interface and timely alerts. Some challenges, such as occasional connectivity
issues and limited sensor coverage, were noted, but did not outweigh the system’s benefits.
Overall, eSAGIP significantly enhanced Bacoor City’s disaster preparedness and response
efforts. With further refinement and expansion, it holds great potential for replication in
other flood-prone communities.
