Communication is one of the important parameter which barricades itself during disasters. Along with this, the other problem is measurement of physical conditions of the calamity struck region. There must be simple ways to tackle them. The purpose of this paper is to unveil such a system which remains active at all times, and is fault-tolerant with respect to any unexpected events such as a natural disaster. Hence, it mainly involves transmission of distress signals, warning signals and other information related to disaster relief. These signals are acquired using an all terrain Unmanned Ground Vehicle. The signals and the physical properties of the region like gas leakage, damaged terrain etc. are sent to the ground station using a high altitude repeater called the airborne system, which is tethered to the ground.

Abstract
Communication is one of the important parameter which barricades itself during disasters. Along with this, the other problem is measurement of physical conditions of the calamity struck region. There must be simple ways to tackle them. The purpose of this paper is to unveil such a system which remains active at all times, and is fault-tolerant with respect to any unexpected events such as a natural disaster. Hence, it mainly involves transmission of distress signals, warning signals and other information related to disaster relief. These signals are acquired using an all terrain Unmanned Ground Vehicle. The signals and the physical properties of the region like gas leakage, damaged terrain etc. are sent to the ground station using a high altitude repeater called the airborne system, which is tethered to the ground.
