Flooding is one of the common natural hazards in coastal areas of
Vietnam, attributed to the influence of climate change. Establishing a
robust infrastructure and tools to support flood warning systems is
crucial and necessary to enhance the effectiveness of early warnings. An
integrated warning mechanism comprises physical components (such
as sensors and computers), software applications for data processing
and analysis, databases, and stakeholders including governmental
agencies and local communities. Among these, community participation
is a crucial aspect, aiding in the collection and dissemination of vital
information for warning systems during natural disasters. Despite
numerous studies focusing on developing support and warning systems
for natural disasters in Vietnam, community involvement has not been
sufficiently emphasized in the outcomes of these studies. This article
presents the results of developing computer programs and mobile
applications for flood warning services in coastal areas. Specifically, a
flood risk warning map is generated using a 1D-CNN deep learning
model experimented in Quang Nam province. The experimental mobile
application allows community participation by enabling them to
provide real-time information on the flood situation, facilitating the
system's analysis, processing, updating, and integration of data into the
established database to issue flood risk warnings for the research area.
