1. An optical fiber sensing system comprising:
an optical fiber configured to detect vibration;
a detection unit configured to detect an occurrence of a predetermined event using an optical signal on which vibration detected by the optical fiber is superimposed;
an identification unit configured to identify an occurrence location of the predetermined event, using the optical signal, and to identify a movement destination area serving as a movement destination of an unmanned aerial vehicle configured to monitor an occurrence location of the predetermined event using the occurrence location of the predetermined event;
a control unit configured to control the unmanned aerial vehicle to move to the movement destination area; and
a camera,
wherein the identification unit is configured to:
determine a monitor for monitoring the occurrence location of the predetermined event from among the unmanned aerial vehicle, the camera, and a person, using the occurrence location of the predetermined event, and
identify the movement destination area if the unmanned aerial vehicle is determined as the monitor.
