The operations of SAR team are very challenging in such events due to the possible damages of the existing telecommunication infrastructures. The existing deployment of the cellular communications infrastructure may be partially or completely destroyed after the occurrence of these natural disasters. Thus, the current VASNET infrastructure must be able to support the infrastructure-less network by integrating other green wireless technologies that can benefit the SAR team, which can indirectly save more human lives and reduce the number of casualties. Therefore, the integration of green Internet of things (loT) and VASNET is proposed to form a heterogeneous framework for data dissemination in SAR operations. In addition, this paper also discusses the existing lot framework in disaster scenarios with future research direction for IoT using on any aspect, especially related to the natural disaster scenarios.展开更多
