Abstract – The increasing frequency and severity of floods
provinces where schools were constructed without sufficient flood resilience [3].
have become a major concern in many regions, particularly in areas with a high concentration of vulnerable populations such as school campuses. Timely detection and monitoring of water levels can play a crucial role in mitigating the risks posed by flooding to the safety and wellbeing of students, teachers, and staff. The creation of an Internet of Things (IoT)enabled water level detection system with SMS notifications is presented in this research study. Its purpose is to give floodprone school campuses early warning and real-time monitoring capabilities. It measures the water level in each building using close traversing approach. It automatically updates the staff, teachers, and students on each building's water level and status. The notification provides the individual with the choice of the safest exit route from the premises.
Keeping students, faculty, and staff safe and healthy is a daily struggle for schools. Because there is no drainage system in place, rain constantly pours down on the school grounds during bad weather, causing floods at Iloilo National High School in Iloilo City. As the water level rose, it became more challenging for the students to find a way out of the school that would be both safe and navigable. Furthermore, flooding and water leaks can jeopardize business, seriously harm property, and even endanger human health. Manual checks are a common component of traditional water level detection technologies, but they can be laborious and inefficient especially in big buildings. The aim of this research was to develop a water level detection system for schools that is localized and equipped with Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities, along with Short Message Service (SMS) notifications. When flooding occurs on school property, the system notifies staff, instructors, and students by measuring the elevation ground point in each area to determine the safest area and the water level. It made use of the closed traverse approach.

1.INTRODUCTION One of the main issues in the Philippines is flooding, which is caused by heavy rain brought on by tropical storms. Extreme weather hazards and occurrences can affect many kinds of infrastructure and transportation operations directly or indirectly [1].
2. LITERATURE REVIEW Fajar Rahayu, et.al [4], proposed a study Prototype Flood Detection Water Level Monitoring IoT Web Based with Ultrasonic Sensor HC-SR04. This project intends to develop a real-time Internet of Things (IoT)-based flood control system. The purpose of this research is to design and build a prototype for a water level monitoring system and to explore the idea of preventing floods in local communities. Using the concept of a smart home, the device object aims to create applications that can be used as displays that can be viewed on a computer or smartphone. The HC-SR04 Ultrasonic module serves as the primary data source, providing a changing water level. The data gathering procedure begins in a glass tube container with no items, followed by the addition of solid objects as a sensor barrier against the water's surface.
According to Panay news, all 180 of Iloilo City's barangays are under risk of flooding, according to the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) in Region VI. They have several levels of susceptibility: extremely high, high, moderate, and low, according to the most recent comprehensive (1:10,000 scale) geohazard model of the city produced by MGB-6[2]. Floods have a disastrous impact on education as well, even though their negative impacts are frequently concealed. An Asian Disaster Preparedness Center study done in Cambodia in 2002 lends credence to this conclusion. The results of the poll indicated that one of the things preventing students from finishing their studies and, consequently, bringing down the quality of education today is flooding, especially in
