Building collapse has become very frequent in recent times disaster management which has imparted with latest technologies. In our project, a sensor based system is developed to locate human beings who are trapped under collapsed building of an organization. The heartbeat of human beings is detected using a heartbeat sensor and the obtained data is sent to the microcontroller. The exact location of the person is sent to the microcontroller. This provides the information of whether the person is alive or not along with the location of the person are processed and updated to a server database every few minutes via a GSM/GPRS module. The server is maintained with the details of the employees in the organization. The status the location of the person can be viewed from the server. The rescuers team from disaster management can get the information from the server and immediately rescue the person.

Keywords- Building Collapse, Heartbeat sensor, GSM/GPRS module.
