Advancements in IoT technology have been instrumental in the design and implementation of various ubiquitous services. One such design activity was carried out by the authors of this paper, who proposed a novel cloud-centric IoT-based disaster management framework and developed a multimedia-based prototype that employed real-time geographical maps. The multimedia-based system can provide vital information on maps that can improve the planning and execution of evacuation tasks. This study was intended to explore the acceptance of the proposed technology by the specific set of users that could potentially lead to its adoption by rescue agencies for carrying out indoor rescue and evacuation operations. The novelty of this study lies in the concept that the acceptability of the proposed system was ascertained before the complete implementation of the system, which prevented potential losses of time and other resources. Based on the extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), we proposed a model included factors such as perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude, and behavioural intention. Other factors include trust in the proposed system, job relevance, and information requirement characteristics. Online survey data collected from the respondents were analyzed using structural equation modelling (SEM) revealed that although perceived ease of use and job relevance had significant impacts on perceived usefulness, trust had a somewhat milder impact on the same. The model also demonstrated a statistically moderate impact of trust and perceived ease of use on behavioural intention. All other relationships were statistically strong. Overall, all proposed relationships were supported, with the research model providing a better understanding of the perceptions of users towards the adoption of the proposed technology. This would be particularly useful while making decisions regarding the inclusion of various features during the industrial production of the proposed system.

Scientists and researchers are in pursuit of finding ways to make precise predictions of disasters. Despite the way that foreseeing a disaster isn't always possible, researchers have developed certain tools that are proving to be massively valuable in forecasting of tremors, landslides & tsunamis, and for post-disaster management. This paper surveys the various state-of-the-art disaster alerting, reporting and management tools installed around the world. This article intends to share the research work currently in progress that proposes a novel IoT-based post-disaster rescue operations management framework for large indoor facilities to send automatic alert signals to rescue managers in case of disaster and to direct the rescue team members to those areas inside the affected facilities where the victims might be waiting to be rescued.
