Security and Privacy Challenges of Participatory Sensing in Natural Disaster Management

Collecting and analyzing data from a large number of people through the use of mobile devices is known as "participatory sensing." Participatory sensing has emerged as a potential strategy in recent years, particularly in the context of natural catastrophe management. Security and privacy problems, data quality issues, integration with existing systems, and ethical considerations are only some of the obstacles that must be overcome before the full promise of participatory sensing in natural disaster management can be realized. This study addresses these difficulties and investigates various remedies, such as the implementation of formal methods, the creation of safe protocols for data gathering and sharing, and the formulation of ethical frameworks for participatory sensing systems. In conclusion, this work highlights the necessity of further research and development into the role that participatory sensing might play in improving situational awareness and reaction in natural disaster management.
