Sensors are the foundation of our work and critical to helping communities better understand and respond to extreme weather events. We are deploying a network of internet-connected sensors to monitor environmental conditions in real-time, and integrating this data into advanced earth system models and user-friendly digital dashboards for local stakeholders. By providing access to timely, localized observations and decision-support capabilities, we aim to empower communities to take proactive, evidence-based action to protect vulnerable populations and critical infrastructure from the impacts of climate change.
