The document discusses a research project titled "PROJECT IFIS (Improvised Flood Indicator System)". It aims to develop a device to detect increasing flood levels in an area and alert civilians. Specifically, the project seeks to determine the reach of the alarm sound, test the functionality of the device, and compare it to an existing prototype flood alarm. The document provides background on flood events in the Philippines and the significance of having flood alarms to detect water levels during rainy seasons.
