When disaster flows upstream, warnings flow downstream
A community-based early warning network for flash floods using affordable wrist-worn sensors that detect water level changes and communicate via mesh network. Our system predicts flood events up to 2 hours in advance, giving communities in flood-prone regions crucial time to evacuate.
PROTECT YOUR COMMUNITYA villager in a remote mountain region receives a vibrating alert on their wrist: "Flash flood detected upstream, arriving in 47 minutes" — with zero cell coverage needed, because the sensors created their own warning network as water levels rose miles away.
