Abstract: This study is based on the creation of a Python-based plugin as an SMS alert module for emergency response planning in QGIS. The project involves performing GIS analysis on vector layers and generating SMS alerts. For example, when disasters and emergencies such as natural disasters, accidents, medical crises, or security threats occur, there is a need for rapid dissemination of information. It can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. The purpose of the risk assessment phase of an emergency response plan is to explore potential emergency scenarios. Such a facility develops and implements an emergency plan for the safety of its personnel, guests, customers, and other visitors. When emergencies occur, the SMS Alerts plugin will provide an immediate and direct way to reach individuals in real-time. Emergency alerts can be received on almost all mobile phones in the nearby emergency area. For example, if a disaster occurs, we need to send an alert message to all hospitals in the area to alert them of the situation so that necessary action can be taken immediately. We need to send a warning message to a specific area. The user will get a warning message and all the information about all the events in the specific area where the buffer is created. The user gets all the information about the event, whether it is a positive or negative one.
