Smart Vertical Escape Towers for Flood-Prone Communities
Rise creates pre-installed smart escape towers that automatically deploy climbing ladders when rising water is detected. Using underwater sensors to identify wildlife hazards, our towers provide safe refuge when ground-level evacuation becomes impossible during flash floods and storm surges.
A family watches floodwaters fill their street, activates their Rise unit, and sees a reinforced tower extend from their backyard with an illuminated ladder descending—while their phone alerts show "Water Hazard Detected: Wildlife Present" so they know it's safe to climb up and wait for rescue, dry and protected 15 feet above the chaos.
