Data can also be exported for offline workflows. For more information about ACS layers, visit the FAQ. Please cite the Census and ACS when using this data.Data Note from the Census:Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables.Data Processing Notes:This layer is updated automatically when the most current vintage of ACS data is released each year, usually in December. The layer always contains the latest available ACS 5-year estimates. It is updated annually within days of the Census Bureau's release schedule. Click here to learn more about ACS data releases.Boundaries come from the US Census TIGER geodatabases, specifically, the National Sub-State Geography Database (named tlgdb_(year)_a_us_substategeo.gdb). Boundaries are updated at the same time as the data updates (annually), and the boundary vintage appropriately matches the data vintage as specified by the Census. These are Census boundaries with water and/or coastlines erased for cartographic and mapping purposes. For census tracts, the water cutouts are derived from a subset of the 2020 Areal Hydrography boundaries offered by TIGER. Water bodies and rivers which are 50 million square meters or larger (mid to large sized water bodies) are erased from the tract level boundaries, as well as additional important features. For state and county boundaries, the water and coastlines are derived from the coastlines of the 2023 500k TIGER Cartographic Boundary Shapefiles. These are erased to more accurately portray the coastlines and Great Lakes. The original AWATER and ALAND fields are still available as attributes within the data table (units are square meters).The States layer contains 52 records - all US states, Washington D.C., and Puerto RicoCensus tracts with no population that occur in areas of water, such as oceans, are removed from this data service (Census Tracts beginning with 99).Percentages and derived counts, and associated margins of error, are calculated values (that can be identified by the "_calc_" stub in the field name), and abide by the specifications defined by the American Community Survey.Field alias names were created based on the Table Shells file available from the American Community Survey Summary File Documentation page.Negative values (e.g., -4444...) have been set to null, with the exception of -5555... which has been set to zero. These negative values exist in the raw API data to indicate the following situations:The margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate.Either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution.The median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution, or in the upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A statistical test is not appropriate.The estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate.The data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of sample cases is too small.

Natural Disaster Detection IoT Market size was valued at USD 1.2 Billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 4.06 Billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 37.2 % during the forecast period 2024-2030.

Global Natural Disaster Detection IoT Market Drivers

Improved Early Warning Systems: The Internet of Things (IoT) makes it possible to implement sophisticated early warning systems for natural disasters such hurricanes, floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, and wildfires. Sensors placed in disaster-prone locations are able to identify environmental anomalies and precursor signals, sending real-time data to central monitoring systems. This makes it easier to notify authorities and locals in a timely manner, lessening the effects of calamities and maybe saving lives.

Enhanced Surveillance and Forecasting: Internet of Things-capable sensors and surveillance apparatuses furnish constant data gathering and examination capacities, imparting discernment into environmental factors like temperature, humidity, pressure, seismic activity, and meteorological trends. This data is processed using sophisticated analytics and machine learning algorithms to find patterns, trends, and early warning signs of impending disasters. This allows for more accurate forecasting and preparedness planning.

Remote sensing and surveillance of disaster-prone locations are made possible by Internet of Things (IoT) devices outfitted with cameras, drones, and satellite imaging technology. Emergency responders and decision-makers can benefit greatly from the situational awareness that these sensors can provide by monitoring changes in the topography, vegetation, water levels, and integrity of infrastructure. Efforts to assess damage, prepare for emergencies, and conduct catastrophe assessments are improved by real-time imagery and video feeds.

Integration with Geographic Information Systems (GIS): Spatial analysis, mapping, and visualization of disaster-related data are made easier by the integration of IoT data with GIS platforms. Decision-making processes are improved by geographic data overlays, risk maps, and geospatial modeling tools, which help authorities identify high-risk areas, allocate resources wisely, and schedule evacuation routes and shelter places.

Developments in Sensor Technology: The spread of IoT devices for natural disaster detection is driven by ongoing developments in sensor technology, such as downsizing, enhanced sensitivity, and low power consumption. Highly weatherproof and resilient sensors can survive extreme weather conditions, which makes them appropriate for use in dangerous and remote areas that are vulnerable to natural disasters.

Government Initiatives and Regulations: Across the globe, governments and regulatory agencies are investing more money and requiring the use of Internet of Things (IoT)-based technologies for resilience and disaster management. Adoption of IoT technologies to improve catastrophe warning, response, and recovery capacities is encouraged by national disaster preparedness programs, financing initiatives, and regulatory frameworks.

Collaborations between the Public and Private Sectors: In the development of Internet of Things (IoT)-based solutions for natural disaster detection, cooperation between public agencies, private businesses, academic institutions, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) promotes innovation and knowledge exchange. In order to improve community safety and catastrophe resilience, technological development, pilot projects, and field testing are driven by public-private partnerships (PPPs) and collaborative research activities.

Growing Concern and Awareness of Climate Change: The need for Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for disaster detection and mitigation has increased as a result of growing global awareness of climate change and its effects on the frequency and intensity of natural catastrophes. The necessity for preventive actions to mitigate climate-related hazards is acknowledged by stakeholders from all industries, which motivates investments in IoT infrastructure, research, and innovation.
