In the occurrence of disaster the telecommunication infrastructure usually collapses badly, and do not provide telecommunication services among the users. In such emergency situation, the responders first deploy MANET ad hoc network to launch rescue and relief operation in order to reduce property losses and save disaster victims. In this paper, the EPLAODV, energy efficient and link aware routing protocol is designed and implemented in NS-2 environment to meet during the emergency situation and improves the network lifetime. Furthermore, this study focuses to evaluate the performance of UDP and TCP protocols under AODV and EPLAODV routing protocols. Many emergency related scenarios are designed and simulated in NS-2 simulator software. PDR, End-to-End Delay and energy consumption are the main performance metrics. The simulated results show that the TCP agent produces better results than UDP under the EPLAODV and AODV in the disastrous situations.
