Abstract: Disaster management plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals and infrastructure during emergencies. The rapid advancement of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies offers innovative solutions for disaster management in various domains, including smart campuses. A smart campus integrates IoT devices, sensors, and data analytics to create an intelligent environment that can efficiently respond to and mitigate the impact of disasters. In this paper, we describe some scenarios for the management of emergencies in the context of a Smart Campus. The Smart Campus under consideration has a people counting system able to detect and count the number of people in the classrooms and in the laboratories. Several emergencies are considered, including fires, earthquakes, and floods. In the end, we present the potentialities and the main limitations of such a system in the management of emergencies.
