Abstract

The high rainfall that has poured into the city of Padang has made the Mount Nago dam to overflow and resulted in flash floods. Observation of weather and water level of the dam is very important to do to estimate the possibility of the occurrence of a flash flood. This study aims to build an early warning system by utilizing Raspberry Pi as a control center. Environmental weather reading with temperature, humidity and wind speed parameters is carried out by Automatic Weather System (AWS) which uses DHT11 sensor and cup propeller. Weather reading data is processed using fuzzy logic to get the categories of ‘sunny’, ‘cloudy’ weather, ‘light rain’ and ‘heavy rain’. The weather category and the water level of the dam which are read through the ultrasonic sensor are reprocessed to get ‘safe’, ‘standby’, ‘warning’ and ‘danger (flash flood) information. The results show that AWS works well, which is 80%, and the flash flood early warning system can work, with a success rate of 70%.
