ABSTRACT
Floods increase the vulnerability of residents of flood-prone areas and affect their
everyday life. Minimizing the impact of flood requires an adaptation plan, especially at the low
lying areas where flooding is an undying problem. Its inhabitants suffer from the frequent flood
due to rainstorms, high tides and back flooding. In low land flooding, like Hagonoy, where flood
is more often. It can cause a worth of damage to equipment, furniture and appliances as well.
People’s adaptation to floods and the meaning that these people ascribe to their everyday life.
Therefore, This study aims in creating a device will provide help to the people affected of flood
to safeguard home appliances and lessen the damage it causes.

CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
INTRODUCTION
Flood is one of the most common global problem and viewed as the leading destructive
natural hazard among all naturally triggered disaster, causing extensive damage to built and
natural environment. (Natural Hazards: Explanation and Integration, 2017)
Flood is already part of our daily lives which Filipino people have adapted for centuries,
thus flood is expected through myriad part of the world. According to the European Union (EU)
Directive, flood is defined as a covering by water of land not normally covered by water. In
sense of “flowing water”, the word may also have applied to the inflow of tide. Flooding may
occur as an overflow of water from water bodies, such as river, lake or oceans in which the water
overtops or break levees, resulting in some of the water escaping its boundaries or it may occur
due to an accumulation of rainwater on saturated ground in flooded area.
The regularity of natural disaster has been increasing through the years, resulting in
damage to property and destruction of environment (Nelson, 2018). Floods greatly affect our
Assets through the destruction of crops, machinery and infrastructure. It can also greatly affect
someone’s health but in other cases it also has a great impact in others individual household. In
low lying areas where flooding is unending problem. The people resides here suffer from
frequent flood due to rainstorms, high tides and back flooding and in lowland area where
flooding is more often. it can cause a worth of damage to equipment, furniture and appliances as
well.
1
In low-lying area like Hagonoy Bulacan where flood is common problem, damage to
private properties is inevitable. According to MDRRMO Hagonoy, 14 out of 26 barangays are
prone to flood due to tidal-shifting with an average water level of 2 feet and 17 out of 26
barangays are affected due to upstream flooding. This flooding accounts for a lot of damage not
only in agriculture and infrastructure but also damage to private properties that cause a lot of
stress to the people who resides in hagonoy Bulacan.
According to the study of the Philippine institute for development studies about flood
event in Marikina city in early august 2012 shows that the city is divided into 16 barangays and
all barangays experience a different degree of flooding. The average flood height reported for the
August 2012 flood event was 4 meters outdoors and 3 meters indoors. The intensified monsoon
and resulting flood caused damage to property, including the dwelling structure itself and its
contents – appliances, electronic devices, and personal belongings. Most houses only needed
thorough cleaning, but others had damaged floors (22 percent), roofs (33 percent), and walls (29
percent). The most commonly damaged household appliances were television sets (48 percent),
rice cookers (47 percent), refrigerators (44 percent), washing machines (43 percent), and radios
(33 percent). The average amount of losses reported by households was PHP 33,142, which was
13.8 percent of their average annual household income.
Six months after the flood event, more than half of households had repaired/replaced the
damage. Among household assets, damage to vehicles and computers were the costliest.
However, 76 percent of households whose cars were damaged, 71 percent of those whose
motorcycles were damaged, and 42 percent of those whose computers were damaged had already
replaced/repaired them within six months of the disaster. The high values may reflect the fact
2
that households that owned vehicles and computers tended to have high incomes, which enabled
them to repair/replace these high-priced assets relatively quickly.
A lot of technologies exist that have a potential to overcome this kind of problem where it
can help people in terms of lifting and transporting jobs. However, it is mainly focus on lifting or
transporting only and made of hydraulic lifting tubes. Despite utilizing the said technologies for
developing, these technologies still not sufficient for flood related issues. The Mounted lifts and
The Hydraulic lifting system , both design to help people to efficiently and effectively perform
lifting actions but not accessible in water. These technologies emerge to aid this disadvantage
however, they’re not use to solve this kind of problem and focus on load elevating and load
appliances purposes only.
To overcome the issue at hand, the researchers propose a device that will aid people in
terms of lifting and transporting their appliances when in times of flood and high tide situation.
The researchers propose a device that will automatically lift the appliances through a lifter with
water sensor that will trigger once the designated water level is met. Instead of relying by 220v
AC power the system will be independent through a rechargeable heavy-duty battery, the system
is control through Arduino Uno and enclosed to water resistance casing that will protect the
device from malfunctioning. The researchers also propose the device to have heavy duty wheels
that can withstand a certain weight of load for transport and evacuating.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The general problem of this study is to develop an Automatic Appliance Lifter during
high tide and flood situations in Hagonoy, Bulacan that will monitor and will automatically lift
3
the appliances when tide water is rising and converts into a transport device when flooding is
getting seriously higher within the residence living in Hagonoy, Bulacan.
Specifically, this study will seek answer to the following questions:
1. What factors should be considered when monitoring the rising tide of the sea to
safeguard home appliances?
2. How can the proposed Automatic Appliance Lifter detect each rising level of the
incoming seawater inside the residence?
3. How can the proposed system adjust the height of the lifter depending on the level of
the rising seawater?
4. What are the hardware and software components needed to develop the proposed
system?
5 How can the residents be notified of the different alert levels with regards to the height
of the rising seawater?
6 What are the indicators that the proposed system has met the level of acceptability in
terms of the following criteria:
a. Functionality
b. Reliability
c. Usability
d. Efficiency
e. Portability

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The result of the study will be of great benefit to the following:
People living in Hagonoy Bulacan,- This study will help them especially to the people living on
the flood prone areas. This research may help evacuate their appliances and other important
things

CHAPTER II
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
2.1 RELEVANT THEORIES
2.1.1 Embedded System
An embedded system is a programmed controlling and operating system with a dedicated
function within a larger mechanical or electrical system, often with real-time
computing constraints. (Barr, 2007) It is embedded as part of a complete device often including
hardware and mechanical parts. Embedded systems control many devices in common use today.
(Barr & Massa, programming Embedded system:with C ang GNU development tools, 2006)
Modern embedded systems are often based on microcontrollers (i.e. CPUs with integrated
memory or peripheral interfaces), (Giovino) but ordinary microprocessors (using external chips
for memory and peripheral interface circuits) are also common, especially in more complex
systems. In either case, the processor(s) used may be types ranging from general purpose to those
specialized in certain class of computations, or even custom designed for the application at hand.
A common standard class of dedicated processors is the digital signal processor (DSP).
Embedded systems are designed to do some specific task, rather than be a general-purpose
computer for multiple tasks. Some also have real-time performance constraints that must be met,
for reasons such as safety and usability; others may have low or no performance requirements,
allowing the system hardware to be simplified to reduce costs.
Embedded systems are not always standalone devices. Many embedded systems consist of small
parts within a larger device that serves a more general purpose. For example, the Gibson Robot
7
Guitar features an embedded system for tuning the strings, but the overall purpose of the Robot
Guitar is, of course, to play music. (carey, 2008) Similarly, an embedded system in
an automobile provides a specific function as a subsystem of the car itself.
In relevance to our study, our study uses automatic lifter if the system detects maximum
level of water and transportation if there are worst cases which the appliances are needed to
transport to other places.
2.1.2 Level Sensor
Level sensors detect the level of liquids and other fluids and fluidized solids,
including slurries, granular materials, and powders that exhibit an upper free surface. Substances
that flow become essentially horizontal in their containers (or other physical boundaries) because
of gravity whereas most bulk solids pile at an angle of repose to a peak. The substance to be
measured can be inside a container or can be in its natural form (e.g., a river or a lake). The level
measurement can be either continuous or point values. Continuous level sensors measure level
within a specified range and determine the exact amount of substance in a certain place, while
point-level sensors only indicate whether the substance is above or below the sensing point.
Generally, the latter detect levels that are excessively high or low. (EngineersGarage, 2012)
In relevance to our proposed study, we use water level sensor to detect if the water
(flood) reaches its maximum level for it to activate its lifting capability and transportation in
worst case scenarios

2.2 RELATED LITERATURE
Flood
Calamitous events such as disasters cause major disturbances to the community. It
disrupts the community in functioning and causes losses in terms of human, material and
environment. One of the disasters that people usually experience is a flood. According to
Madaan (2018), floods are natural occurrences where in an area that is usually dry suddenly
becomes submerged in water. It can be simply defined as an overflow of large bodies of water
into a dry land. This is often devastating and causes large scale destruction and significant loss of
life.
Causes of Flood
Amadeo (2018) indicated that flood’s damage is extensive and considered to be the
second-most widespread natural disaster after wildfires. She further elaborated some causes of
flood such as global warming, climate change and rising sea levels. Global warming are causing
more floods. As the temperature rises, the air above holds more moisture the reason why rainfall
become less frequent that soon create droughts. Skies will soon release moisture in an extreme
downpour that creates flood. Climate change also causes flood. Higher temperature means less
snow and more rain. One sixth of the world’s population relies on snowmelt for their water
supply. People expect slowly melting snow but they will receive buckets that they are not ready
to store which soon causes flood. Rising sea levels are also making floods worse. The ocean
usually floods the street during high tides. In line with this, Carrington (2017) stated that, the
small but inevitable rises in sea level will double the frequency of severe coastal flooding in most
9
of the world. Climate change is causing sea levels to rise at about 4mm per year, as the ice caps
melt the ocean becomes warm and expand that will continue for many years. The rising of sea
levels will give a higher starting point for the storm surges and big waves that can overwhelm
coastal defenses.
Flood and Its Effects
Flood affects individual and communities and have social, economic and environmental
consequences (Queensland Government, 2018). Most of the people are aware of the immediate
impacts of flooding that includes loss of human life, damage to property, loss of livestock and
deterioration of health conditions because of waterborne diseases. During flood, some economic
activities are limited the reason why normal life is disrupted. People are left with no choice but to
leave their homes to go to a safer place. Damage to infrastructure is one of the major
disturbances during a flood. This causes disruptions to supplies of clean water, electricity,
transportation, communication, education and health care. Loss of livelihoods can leave the
communities economically vulnerable. Floods can also traumatize victims for a long period of
time. Losing love ones has deep impacts especially on children.
According to Floodsite (2008), there are four groups of consequences of flood. Direct,
indirect, tangible and intangible consequences are those. Direct consequences happen at the time
of the flood such as damage to houses, schools, factories, roads, bridges, furniture, cars,
machinery, power plants and water supply while indirect consequences are those that occur after
the floodwater has gone such as loss of industrial production, traffic disruption, loss of customers
and increased vulnerability of survivors.. On the other hand, tangible consequences can be
directly calculated by their economic value. Intangible consequences are damages that do not
10
have monetary value such as health effects, loss of ecological value and loss of life. There are
also called material and immaterial damage. Damage to property of one’s own is considered as
material damage. After the flood, people often tend to experience emotional problems. Losing
sense of security and having difficulty in sleeping whenever it rains or storms are some of the
emotional problems that the victims are going through. These emotional problems are considered
as immaterial damage.
Climate change and urban growth have contributed to environment in which flooding has
become frequent and damaging occurrence. Sustainable, water-sensitive and low-impact
development initiatives around the world highlight the need for effective flood mitigation, and
forward-thinking engineers are combining natural and proprietary water management products to
deliver the best possible protection.
Global System for Mobile Communication
GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) is a digital mobile network that is
widely used by mobile phone users in Europe and other parts of the world. The mobile device
connects to the network via hardware. The subscriber identity module (SIM) card provides the
network with identifying information about the mobile user.
The GSM network has four separate parts that work together to function as a whole: the
mobile device itself, the base station subsystem (BSS) which handles the traffic between the cell
phone and the portion that tracks the location of callers to enable the delivery of cellular services,
the network switching subsystem (NSS) and the operation and support subsystem (OSS).
During flood event, the system will notify the house owner via his mobile phone that
there is current flood situation.
11
Lifter
A lifter is a cylindrical component that rides on the Cam Shaft to actuate the Intake and Exhaust
Valves. For pushrod engines, the Lifter pushes the pushrod up into the Rocker Arm and opens
the valve.
Hydraulic Lifters
Hydraulic lifters are used most often since they can reduce valve train noise by
maintaining zero valve clearance (no spacing between valve train components.) The oil filled
lifters adjust automatically for changes brought on by temperature variations and wear of parts.
Engine motor oil fills the inside of the lifter, pushing the lifter plunger up until all the play in the
valve train is removed.
Mechanical Lifters
Mechanical lifters,also called as solid lifters, simply transfer cam lobe action to the push
rod. They do not contain oil and are not self-adjusting. As a result, they require periodic
adjusting. Valve trains using mechanical lifters are prone to a clicking or clattering noise as the
valves open and close. This is why hydraulic lifters are more common.
Roller Lifters
Roller lifters are either mechanical or hydraulic. Designed into the lifter is a roller that
rides the cam lobe, reducing friction between the camshaft and lifter. Friction between these two
components is one of the highest friction points in an engine.
12
Electric Motors
Electric motors are now more diverse and adaptable than ever before. When planning a
motion control system, the choice of motor is extremely important. The motor must align with
the purpose and overall performance goals of the system. Luckily, there is a motor design
suitable for any imaginable purpose.
Types of Electric Motors
AC Brushless Motors
AC brushless motors are some of the most popular in motion control. They use induction
of a rotating magnetic field, generated in the stator, to turn both the stator and rotor at a
synchronous rate. They rely on permanent electromagnets to operate.
DC Brushed Motors
In a DC brushed motor, brush orientation on the stator determines current flow. In some
models, the brush’s orientation relative to the rotor bar segments is decisive instead. The
commutator is especially important in any DC brushed motor design.
DC Brushless Motors
DC brushless motors were first developed to achieve higher performance in a smaller
space than DC brushed motors, and they are smaller than comparable AC models. An embedded
controller is used to facilitate operation in the absence of a slip ring or commutator.
13
Direct Drive
Direct drive is a high-efficiency, low-wear technology implementation that replaces
conventional servo motors and their accompanying transmissions. In addition to being far easier
to maintain over a longer period of time, these motors accelerate more quickly.
Linear Motors
These electric motors feature an unrolled stator and motor, producing linear force along
the device’s length. In contrast to cylindrical models, they have a flat active section featuring two
ends. They are typically faster and more accurate than rotatory motors.
Scissor Lifter
As the drive elevators divided into: electro-hydraulic, electromechanical, pneumatic
hydraulic. As the lifting devices elevators divided into: chain, screw, telescopic, lever. As the
picking-up devices elevators divided into: platform, frame, and console. Stationary elevators are
established in a defined place, frequently without the special foundation on a flat surface of a
floor and fastened by means of anchor bolts or special pins. If the elevator is telescopic then for
his installation is required the special basement is required(Stroytech-ms.ru 2016). Elevators at
which racks move belong to mobile. The main advantage of mobile elevators is their mobility - a
possibility to use serially on various posts and in various technological zones of the
enterprise(Stroytech-ms.ru 2016).
Advantage and application
14
The concept of a scissors lift with hydraulic power comes from Pascal’s law applied in
car jacks and hydraulic rams which states that “pressure exerted anywhere in a conformed
incompressible fluid is transmitted equally in all directions throughout the fluid such that the
pressure ratio remains the same”(Hydraulicsonline 2013). 8 Since the emergence in the light of
different cultural achievements, the individual tries to maximize their use to facilitate the work.
Only a century ago, the society did not have the opportunity even to dream about what is already
openly available at present. The rough labor is replaced by technology, for example lifting
mechanisms. “A scissor lift elevator is a vertical transportation cab which is raised and lowered
from underneath, somewhat like a traditional hydraulic elevator, except that instead of a
hydraulic cylinder the extendable mechanism is a folding lattice of crisscrossed beams similar to
a pantograph. The entire mechanism extends upward when pressure is applied to the lowest
members
Motorized Lift Table
A motorized lift table is a device functions to lower and raise goods or/and person
whichusually are used to raise heavy and large distance relatively for small distance. Typically,
a motorizedlifttable operated by using scissor mechanism which is can contract and retract. Lift
table isergonomics to the user when they can adjust it to the desired height when operated. (Lift
table,n.d.).The application for lift table can be found mainly in automotive industry, patient bed,
heavyindustry and many more.
15
Starting 1950s, hydraulic scissor lifting tables became the most used design by
themanufacturer of automotive industries. By starting with simple design, the lift table has
undergoinvention from time to time until now.

Real Time Flood Monitoring System
Flood becomes one of the major problems in most of the countries around the world.
Although, we are able to forecast rainfall or to track storm path very precisely from the satellite
images, the need to have real-time monitored data such as flow, precipitation level, or water level
is essential in order to make a reasonable decision on the actions necessary to be performed to
prevent flooding.
Flood monitoring system has been use not only to monitor the flood parameter current
situation but also to alert the flood warning impact and to predict the flood. In this project a
model of flood monitoring system has been construct to represent the understanding of the basic
concept of sub-systems that involve in real-time monitoring system. The monitoring system
divides into three basic sub system, taking real-time data system, forecasting and processing the
16
data system and warning system. This project use visual basic as the interface of the data forecast
and data process. In order to put up the model, the author familiarized with the flood disaster
itself, study the development of previous system and study the current flood monitoring system.
2.3 RELATED STUDIES
Local
2.3.1 FLOOD DETECTOR SYSTEM USING ARDUINO
The study was conducted in 2016. According to De Guzman, Cuadra, De Luna and
Villanueva the flood is an inescapable natural disaster in Metro Manila, Philippines, causing
heavy flow of traffic and can also cause severe damage to properties and lives. For this reason,
researchers created a flood detection system to monitor up surging water in residential areas.
Using ultrasonic sensor, researchers created flood level sensing device which is attached to
Arduino Yun to process the sensor’s analog signal into a usable digital value of distance. The
user can get real-time information on monitoring flooded roads over the live stream plus SMS
based service. Flood height is determined by subtracting the sensor’s height with respect to the
floor minus the sensed distance between the sensor and the flood water. Updates on the height of
the water level will be texted to the rescue team (Local Government Unit) and to the residents of
Barangay Marulas, Valenzuela City, Philippines and can the locals can also view level of the
flood in the interface of the system. The level of the flood will be divided into four. The flood
sensor and microcontroller will be powered by a solar power bank with 80,000 Ampere-Hour
(mAh) for the benefit of continuous operation of water flood height detection and network data
17
transmission. The Arduino Flood Detector System is developed to be one of the fastest methods
to monitor flood that will help motorists or road user to avoid problem when flood occurred.
(Edwin De Guzman, 2016)
Based on the Researches, the Arduino Flood Detector System is a flood sensing device that
monitors the water level. In our case we will use a flood sensing device that will monitor the
water level and will send notifications through GSM and at the same time the device will be
activated automatically.
2.3.2 Multi-Functional 4 Wheels Movable Base Stands with Size Adjustable
In year 2012, the study conducted in Manila, Philippines. As what Arcie Manguerra and
Rose Cruz, the multi-functional movable adjustable base is a high-performance product. It is
adjustable, easy to assemble and safe to use, convenient applicable for dryers, washing machines,
refrigerators or other heavy home appliances. The corner pads prevent anything from slipping
out of position. With the button-type lock on each wheel, it can be easily located and stabilized.
The rubber swivel casters make moving heavy objects really easy and spared wooden floor. It
can also hold a big amount of weight capacity and adjustable length to fit any other appliances. It
is convenient to use and can help to transport heavy appliances. (Arcie Manguerra, 2012)
The researchers applied the principles of movable base stands that have button-type lock on each
wheel that is good for moving and stabilizing appliances. It is also a water and rust proof
materials to prevent damages and malfunctioning of the device.
18
Foreign
2.3.3 Two-wheeled cart with auxiliary wheel
The study two-wheeled cart with auxiliary wheel was conducted by Eugene A.
Kazmark in year 2014. He stated that, a two-wheeled cart for transporting articles such
as luggage and the like is equipped with an auxiliary wheel which is movable between a
storage position and a use position in which the cart is self-supporting. The cart
includes a base portion and a handle portion, and the base portion includes a pair of
parallel tubes and an axle which extends between the tubes and supports a pair of
wheels. The auxiliary wheel is mounted on an auxiliary wheel frame which is movable
mounted on the base portion for movement between a storage position in which the
wheel frame extends generally parallel to the parallel tubes and a use position in which
the auxiliary wheel supports the handle portion at an acute angle with respect to the
supporting surface. (Kazmark, 2014)
For the proposed device, it also has a heavy wheel in order to transport easily and move freely in
different places to reduce the burden in moving the heavy things.
2.3.4 Flood Detection using Sensor Network and Notification via SMS and Public Network
In year 2011 the study Flood detection using sensor network and notification via SMS
and public network was conducted in Malaysia by Mohammed Khalaf and he said that this study
is all about an alert generating system for flood detection. This focused on the development of
the system which will determine the current water level by means of sensors and by using
wireless sensor network will then provide notification via GSM modem. The system, however,
19
do not just stops there but also to proceed to send notification through popular social media
network like the Facebook and Twitters. It is felt that notification system such as flood warning
system should be carried a step further in notifying the public. Since social networking is at the
moment one of the popular medium of communication, sending an alert through it would hence
reach a larger audience. The architecture of the system can be expanded further to a fully
functioning system in alerting the public of an impending disaster caused by flood. (Khalaf,
2011)
The researchers of this study focused on sending notification and alertness to people to
warn them that the water level is rising through text messages with the help of GSM modem.
This will notify the public even that are affected of flood even if they are outside of the area.
However, this is limited only to text messages.
2.3.5 Scissors lift platform with electronic control
In year 2011, the study about Scissors lift platform with electronic control was conducted
in Mexico by Arturo Ochoa and Jaime Antonio. According to him, a lift platform sustained
through a double system of support scissors in its lower part, which offers the mechanical
upward and downward motion in a vertical plane and on a base frame, which in its turn is
activated by an electric motor. The lift platform is characterized because it also includes a motor
unit which operates electronically to automatically control the desired position in its upward or
downward motion originated by the movement of the mobile arms of the scissors on a track in
the horizontal plane. (Arturo Ochoa, 2011)
20
The researchers of this study invention relate generally to a lift platform having an
electronic control system. Specifically, the lift platform is sustained through a double system of
support scissors in its lower part
2.3.6 AUTOMATIC MOTORIZED SCREW JACK TO REDUCED MAN POWER
In year 2016, the study conducted in India and introduces the motorized screw jack by
Kamalakkannan. He stated that the weight after certain limits cannot be lifted by a person, in
such cases we are in need of jack. When it is motorized, it becomes more convenient. In order to
implement this idea, he have to design and developed a system called motorized jack operating
through switch by having full control of the jack, so that they can easily lift it up and down by
using the on/off. This helps to reduce the burden of the worker. The main reason to fabricate the
motorized screw jack is to avoid the fatigue of the users during lifting the load. The project is
less cost and good efficient for operating. (Kamalakkannan.A, 2016 )
The researchers of this study analyzed how to relate the said system to their proposed device to
build a convenient (motorized) mechanism that people can rely on during flood calamities. The
device will completely remove the burden in manually lifting the appliances.

In IPO diagram, input is the activity of gathering and capturing raw data. In producing
the device Automatic Appliance Lifter, data and information in the municipality of Hagonoy
Bulacan must be obtained from the number of affected people to the damage to property caused
by flood and high tides situations in the area. It also includes how frequent and the normal water
level of high tide in the area, then we analyze the data gathered, review related concepts and
22
studies and in this data and information we conceptualize the system that can provide a
mechanism to meet an objective.
On the other side, processing involves converting or transforming data into useful outputs
or taking alternative actions and sorting data for future use, this involves analyzing and designing

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 Methods and Techniques of the Study
To meet the objective of the proposed system, the study uses two types of research,
Descriptive - Quantitative research and Applied research. Descriptive research includes surveys
and fact-finding inquiries of different kind, it involves gathering and analyzing of numerical data
using statistical, mathematical or computational techniques. The other method, applied research
aims at finding a solution for an immediate problem facing a society that can be applied to
resolve the issues. Gathering feedbacks about the system’s performance from the residents of the
municipality of Hagonoy is essential to the study; hence, a Descriptive-Quantitative research is
applicable. Likewise, an Applied Research is applicable as the study involves the development
of a technology or device that will aid people do load lifting jobs during flooding situations.
To evaluate the system’s performance, a descriptive-quantitative research is conducted. A
survey utilizing the Likert Scale in which descriptive data is converted to quantitative data, is
carried out by the researchers to selected group users, numerical data is gathered and are
analyzed to assess the system’s acceptability.
Applied Research methodology is carried out to solve the problem in destruction to
personal assets or properties during flooding in area of Hagonoy and its aftermath. A device or
mechanism paired with sensors and has lifting capabilities is developed, allowing affected people
to easily moved and secure their appliances to higher place.
26
3.2 Population and Sample
The study is intended for implementation in the town of Hagonoy, Bulacan. On that note,
the system to be developed will be under the evaluation of the town populace. The study entails a
large population which cannot all be studied. That portion of the population that is studied is
called a sample of the population, the researchers made use of proportional stratified probability
sampling technique where the population is broken down into homogenous subgroups or strata
according to sectors affected by:
 Residents affected by Tidal flooding - civilian residents of Hagonoy, Bulacan who are
largely affected by tidal flood following the damage to property particularly appliances
 Residents affected by Upstream flooding - civilian residents of Hagonoy, Bulacan who
are largely affected by upstream flood following the damage to property particularly
appliances
 Government officials – the response authorities who administer calamity risk reduction
(MDRRMO Municipality of Hagonoy)
Such approach will enable each sector to be properly represented and compared to one
another to test the acceptability of the system among a diverse set of users.
The Slovin’s formula is used to determine the appropriate sample size within the
population of 159,262 that consist of 79,005 affected residents by Tidal flooding, 80,195
Residents affected by Upstream flooding and 12 officials of MDRRMO municipality of
Hagonoy at 95% confidence (5% margin of error).
The Slovin’s formula is as follows:

𝑁
𝑛 = 1+𝑁𝑒 2 where n = sample size
27
N = population size
e = desired margin of error
Thus, the sample size is:
159,262
𝑛 = 1+(159,262)(0.05)2 = 398.9979 ≈ 399
The sample size for each stratum proportionate to its population size is determined by the
equation:
𝑁ℎ
𝑛ℎ = ∗𝑛 where n = total sample size
𝑁
N = total population size
nh = sample size for stratum h
Nh = population size for stratum h
Table 1 Respondents of the Study per Sector
Sector Population Percentage
Residents affected by Tidal flooding 15 50 %
Residents affected by Upstream flooding 10 33.33 %
MDRRMO municipality of Hagonoy 5 16.67 %
Total 30 100 %
Source: Municipal Government of Hagonoy
Table 1 summarizes the population and corresponding sample size per sector. Based on
the gathered information, the total population is 159,262 with a total sample size of 30
respondents.
28
To have a 95% confidence error in conducting the study, n-number of respondents need
to participate in the survey. But the actual number of participants in the study is only 30 due to
lack of time and resource.
3.3 Research Instrument
In order to analyze the system effectively, the researchers shall make use of evaluations
questionnaire and interviews that can measure the evaluator’s satisfaction with the system and its
output, both in quantitative and qualitative terms. The system shall be tested and assessed
firsthand by the intended users in the actual environment where it is to be implemented. This
approach shall establish the system’s reliability, functionality, and usability from the perspective
of the users in order to determine the overall acceptability of the system.
The construction of questioners is utilized through evaluation under different criteria that
are selected based on ISO/IEC 9126, a standard that provides a quality model for test
specifications. For Automatic Appliance Lifter, Functionality is the most important. It signifies
that the system can precisely performs an appropriate set of functions to effectively provide such
services needed. The reliability of the system is also evaluated, it further refers to the extent to
which independent administration of the same instrument yields the same results under
comparable conditions and if the system can actually provide the emergency services needed in
times of hightide and flooding in the area. Equally as significant is the usability criterion which
determines If the system is practical to users, suitable to the problem and easy to use. The
Efficiency of the system, this characteristic is concerned with resources used when providing the
required functionality, the amount of resources provides a good indication of the system. The
Portability criterion, this refers to how well the system can adopt to changes in its environment
29
or with its requirements. These factors sum up the important considerations that will indicate
whether or not the research objectives have been met.

The researcher’s follow ISO 5807 for information processing, it Defines symbols
to be used in information processing documentation and gives guidance on conventions tor their
use in data flowcharts, program flowcharts, system flowcharts, program network charts, system
resources charts. The System Flowchart was used to shows the system’s application process and
one-way process. It represented the control of operations and the data flow of the system.
3.4 Data Gathering Procedure
3.4.1 Surveys
According to De Vos, a valid instrument measures the concept in question, and it
measures it accurately. In this study the researchers provide an evaluation questionnaire that will
assess the acceptability and preparedness of the system. To achieve the validity of the data the
researchers will personally distribute the questionnaire to the respondents and will conduct a
discussion that will give explanation of the project. The researchers will also provide brief
demonstration of the device operation; this is to give the respondents knowledge and familiarity
about the device for them to evaluate easily. Permission to conduct the study with the
respondents will be secured from Municipal Government of Hagonoy, Bulacan.
31
3.4.2 Data sheets
In ensuring Efficiency of the system, knowing the performance and other technical
characteristics of a product, machine, component (e.g., an electronic component), material, a
subsystem or software in sufficient detail will allow the researchers to understand the role of the
component in the overall system and help them to choose products or to help use the products.
3.4.3 Rating Scale
The evaluation of the system is a systematic assessment of its performance and
acceptability among intended users. Using Rating scale, the researchers can quantitatively
gauge the evaluators’ satisfaction with the system and its output.
3.4.5 Non-Directive Interviews
an interview in which questions are not prearranged. Unstructured or nondirective interviews
generally have no set format. The lack of structure allows the researchers to ask questions which
comes to their mind next as a follow up and interrogate points of interest as they go on further. In
Non-directive interviews, there is free talk on issues. They tend to be more open ended, informal,
free flowing and flexible. Questions are not pre-set, although there might be some topics that the
researchers wish to explore. This gives the interview some structure and direction.
3.5 Design Guidelines
3.5.1 Planning and System Requirements Analysis stage
Hagonoy is a low-lying area where flooding is an undying problem. Its inhabitants suffer
from the frequent flood due to rainstorms, high tides and back flooding. in low land flooding,
32
like Hagonoy, where flood is more often. It can cause a worth of damage to equipment, furniture
and appliances as well. The device itself provides help to the people in the area to easily lift their
appliances or furniture in times of flood and high tide. This device can detect or measure the
current water level and automatically ascent as it meets the designated water level. The system
has a LED and sound Alarm system to alert the users in times of flooding, it is also GSM based
where the systems notify or send an alert message to the users incase they’re not at home. The
system is powered by a heavy-duty battery so that the device can still be functional in times of
power outage. The system has its emergency heavy-duty wheels as a method of transporting
appliances in times of evacuation,
To establish a device that can automatically function and alert the users, the researchers
developed a system comprising of both hardware and software.
To ensure the successful utilization of the system by users, numerous testing is conducted
before the system’s implementation. Once the system is fully tested, implementation and
deployment of the system to localities having trouble in saving their appliances during and after
flooding and hightide in the area is executed. Also, a follow-up evaluation is conducted to
discern the system’s effectivity.
3.5.2 Design of Product Stage
The device is an automatic lifter with water level sensor act as trigger device to activate
the system when the designated water level is met, it has its LED and alarm system to alert the
users and GSM module to notify them the water level. The system is made of scissors lift
controlled through a motor that will help us to lift or lower unit loads. The device has an
33
emergency wheel in terms of transporting the load. The system was made possible through
Arduino Uno acting as the brain of the system powered by rechargeable heavy-duty battery
3.5.3 Development of Product Stage
The device is established through Arduino Uno Acting as the command center sending
signals to start the system. It makes use of the common Arduino IDE to upload codes without
any additional library and drivers. The system composes of water level sensor that alert the
system about water in that specific area. The device has its LED and sound alarm system
with GSM based module to alert and notify the users at the same time. The lifting device is
consisting of scissors lift, it’s a platform that is mounted on folding arms is used to provide
elevated work areas or to help raise or lower unit loads. The lift is Controlled by a motor
connected to Arduino Uno. The device also has an emergency heavy duty wheels for
transporting the appliances if needed. The constructed Device will be powered by
rechargeable heavy-duty Battery connected to a relay that automatically cuts 220 vAC when
charging when the required water level is met to activate the system. Also, its Serial
Peripheral Interface equips a high-speed interface and optimizes integration with the
embedded microcontrollers.
All of the specified modules will then be embedded in a circuit board that is enclosed in a
casing including its power source. Once the device has been permanently established, the
system should precisely perform an appropriate set of functions to effectively provide such
services needed.
34
3.5.4 Testing Stage
The system is tested in an area where water is present for three or more times in order to
assure that the products system serves its purpose where each test will be conducted in
different locations and water level. The researchers shall test the accuracy and reliability of
the system through simulating various applicable scenarios. These include low water and
high-water level testing to test functionality, continuous and sporadic usage to gauge the
battery stamina, and repeated trials to test the system’s reliability.
Ensuring that the system objectives are met. The researchers will be monitoring and
measuring progress regularly for a week to identify any variance from the system so that
correction action can be taken if necessary. The testing of device will have done 4 times in
different situations:
Designated water level is not met- the device has a water level sensor and should only
activated when a designated water level is met.
Designated water level is met- the device should be activated and alert the users through its
LED and alarm system. The device should able to lift the designated appliance to a certain
height where it is safe from the water.
Water level reach the maximum height the device can handle- the device should alert and
notify the users through its alarm system and via GSM. The device transporting wheels shall
withstand and handle the appliances weight for transporting.
Charging battery- if the device is charging and the system detect the designated water level,
it should automatically cut the 220v AC to the device.
35
After performing testing, the researchers should ensure that existing functionality works
fine, and the project will be successful.
3.6 Implementation Stage
3.6.1 Description of Implementation
The study employs a system which is Automatic Appliance lifter integrated with a
Water level sensor that seeks to alleviate the difficulty to lift and secure their appliances
during and after flooding disaster. The system will be implemented in the municipality of
Hagonoy, Bulacan. Using the pilot approach, wherein the system is tested first on a small
group and is evaluated by the users before a large-scale implementation. The system will
be first tested and evaluated in Brgy.San Pascual before extending the system to other
areas in Hagonoy,Bulacan.
3.6.2 Tasks for Implementation
The following are tasks required for the implementation of the system:
 Allocation of the device to the intended users
 Providing a brief overview of the system, both hardware and software to the
users
 Product Demonstration
 Providing technical assistance and necessary manuals on how to operate the
product
36
3.6.3 Performance Monitoring
In order to determine the systems reliability and success of the implementation the
researchers make an evaluation through the use of evaluation forms which are used to assess the
device.
3.6.4 Maintenance Stage
To determine if the system is still effectively utilized, operation of the system must be
monitored through monthly evaluation to check if the system is working efficiently to detect
deficiencies for further enhancement of the system to improve for future use.
To safeguard the system’s hardware and to ensure that the device is functioning at its
peak, the following guidelines should be followed:
Scissors lift- Inspect all welds under and around the lift for fatigue or failure Particularly,
inspect the structural welds
Battery- rechargeable battery should be charged according to appropriate charging time
needed when the power is drained. For the batteries health, avoid constant discharging of the
battery fully.
Device- Check general condition of the lift Operate the lift after service
3.7 Data Processing and Statistical Treatment
Data gathering will be done using the survey method wherein the system will be tested
and evaluated by 30 respondents from the Hagonoy, Bulacan populace. The assessment of the
37
respondents shall determine whether the objectives of the study are met. The responses of the
participants for each item in the questionnaire shall subsequently be tabulated and summarized.
To determine the magnitude of the responses:
% = (n / N) x 100
Where:
% – Percentage
n – number of responses
N – total number of respondents
The summarized results will be subjected to statistical treatment using measures of
central tendency, particularly the Weighted Mean formula. It will yield a single number (i.e. the
weighted mean) that will represent the entire group during the data interpretation process.
The weighted arithmetic means of a set of values X1, X2… Xn can be expressed as the
sum of the values multiplied by their corresponding weights. The formula is:
∑𝑛
𝑖=1 𝑓𝑖 𝑋𝑖
𝑋̅ = ∑𝑛
where 𝑋̅ = rate of weighted mean
𝑖=1 𝑓𝑖
Xi = rating per item
fi = weight or frequency of each item
∑ 𝑓𝑋
The simplified form of the formula is: 𝑋̅ = ∑𝑓
After the computation, the mean rating of each criterion will be generated and
subsequently interpreted using the following standards:
38
Table 3 Interpretation of the Computed Weighted Mean
Range Remarks Description
4.50 – 5.00 Excellent Highly Acceptable
3.50 – 4.49 Very Good Acceptable
2.50 – 3.49 Good Moderately Acceptable
1.50 – 2.49 Fair Unacceptable
1.00 – 1.49 Poor Highly Unacceptable
Table 3 shows the interpretation of the computed weighted mean. As indicated, the
highest rating ranges from 4.50 to 5.00 which means that the system is highly acceptable and
recommended for implementation, whereas the lowest rating which ranges from 1.00 to 1.49
which indicates that the system is highly unacceptable and cannot be used for implementation.
Mean ratings that range from 1.50 to 2.49, 2.50 to 3.49, and 3.50 to 4.49 respectively indicate
that the system is unacceptable, moderately acceptable, and acceptable.

CHAPTER V
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATION
Summary
Flood is one of the most common global problem and viewed as the leading destructive
natural hazard among all naturally triggered disaster, causing extensive damage to built and
natural environment.
In low-lying area like Hagonoy Bulacan where flood is common problem, damage to
private properties is inevitable. According to MDRRMO Hagonoy, 14 out of 26 barangays are
prone to flood due to tidal-shifting with an average water level of 2 feet and 17 out of 26
barangays are affected due to upstream flooding.
This flooding accounts for a lot of damage not only in agriculture and infrastructure but
also damage to private properties that cause a lot of stress to the people who resides in hagonoy
Bulacan.
The Appliance lifter was design to give ease to the user especially in Hagonoy citizen
who are experiencing a lot of damage not only in agriculture and infrastructure but also damage
to private properties caused by flooding.
The develop lifter was evaluated by the use of Likert scale. The respondents rate the
functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency and portability of the device. And as a result of
evaluation, the data was tabulated and the mean for each criterion was computed and graph to
have a rating of acceptable.
52
Conclusion
Based on findings of the study,The water sensor is capable of detecting a desired water
level Arduino Mega is being used. The water sensor is being connected and programmed in
Arduino Mega to set the certain value of the water level that the researchers wanted to detect.
GSM modem requires a SIM card to be operated and operates over a network range subscribed
by the network operator. It can be connected to a computer through serial, USB or Bluetooth
connection. A linear actuator is a mechanical device that converts energy to create motion in a
straight line The alarm system was able to do its function to alert the people if the lifter reaches
the maximum height.
The following conclusions were drawn based on the result of testing for the Actuator it
can lift a maximum of 70kgs of appliances. On the notification system, it can send a notification
messages to the people using the Appliances Lifter when the water level arise and when the
water dropped off. The alarm system was able to do its function to alert the people from knowing
the water critical level
The result of the evaluation in which the prototype is acceptable by obtaining an overall
mean of 4.359 All of the respondents rated that the system’s functionality, usability, and
maintainability are acceptable, with reliability and efficiency having higher ratings. All of these
values results to a recommendable execution of the proposed system.
The overall effect of the Automatic Appliances Lifter to the respondents is it can lessen
the damage to the appliances on Hagonoy, Bulacan Unlike when they use to put their appliances
in high places that would be somehow be helpful But it will waste their time and energy. The
53
researchers conclude that, the Automatic Appliances Lifter can help the people living in
Hagonoy, Bulacan
Recommendation
After the interview and interpreting the result gathered from the study and from the
suggestion from the conducted evaluation of the future researcher who wants to develop similar
kind of study:
 They can use proximity sensor to detect the maximum height needed for the device to lift.
 They can add solar energy source to use the device even without power energy during
flooding.
