Vast landscapes are prone to different types of disasters in our environment which need to be monitored. Sensors play a vital role in environmental monitoring where its main function in a mission such as environmental monitoring is to collect information from the monitoring field. Monitoring in our environment against any type of disaster is crucial, due to the uniqueness of disaster monitoring applications; there features are different from other sensor application which may affect the performance of the sensor network. Wider landscape coverage is one of the important feature. In this research, a model was developed to find the optimal number of sensors required to cover a particular area at the monitoring field with a certain constant cost of network design and area to be covered. A mathematical solution based on linear programming to ascertain optimal number of sensors is used, number of simulation has been carried out to verify the proposed model using Matlab. The result shows a maximum coverage of the landscape area and lifespan of network was increased with a good connectivity. (Muhammad Sirajo Aliyu, Abdul Hanan Abdullah, Hassan Chizari, Rohana Yusof.
