Abstract

The modern home is increasingly vulnerable to a variety of domestic threats, including environmental hazards (e.g., fires, floods), security breaches (e.g., intrusions), and health risks (e.g., air quality issues). This paper proposes “The Resilient Home,” an IoT-based framework designed for active threat mitigation. By integrating sensors, actuators, and machine learning algorithms, the framework enables real-time detection, analysis, and automated response to threats, enhancing household safety and resilience. We outline the system architecture, discuss implementation challenges, and present evaluation results from simulated and real-world deployments. Our approach demonstrates a 30-50% reduction in response times compared to traditional passive systems, paving the way for smarter, more proactive home environments.

Keywords: disaster prevention, automated response, domestic safety, risk mitigation.
