Abstract
Successful implementation of the Internet of Thing (IoT) is precursory to a thriving smart city. However, the technical, physical, and environmental conditions can often pose challenges in their successful deployments. The deployment is further complicated if the time and location of implementation are amidst a natural disaster. In this work, we use flash flood detection as a natural hazard testbed and describe various IoT deployment, our progression, and first-hand experience from those implementations. We compare and contrast three IoTs and their performance in real-time execution. Next, we discuss systems architecture and their end-to-end design and present lessons learned from these heterogeneous deployments. Additionally, we evaluate and outline our observations, challenges, and opportunities for further improvement. We also formulate standard evaluation metrics for their scoring and document our deployment journey.
