Abstract

Ocean-based environmental disasters such as tsunamis and underwater earthquakes pose significant risks to human life, coastal infrastructure, and regional stability. However, traditional communication networks often collapse during such events, leading to delayed alerts and uncoordinated response efforts. This study presents an integrated framework that combines underwater Internet of Things (IoT) systems with satellite communication technologies to enable real-time oceanic disaster monitoring and reliable emergency communication. The system connects underwater sensor networks to low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations, allowing for continuous data transmission and early detection of marine hazards. By removing dependency on terrestrial infrastructure, this framework ensures timely alerts and uninterrupted communication in affected areas. The proposed approach promotes a scalable, infrastructure-independent model for oceanic disaster preparedness and response.
