Recent Storms and Floods: Enhancing Resilience

The recent floods and severe weather in Switzerland and neighboring countries have deeply saddened us and tragically claimed several lives. According to a meteorologist from SRF Meteo, moist air masses in the southern Alps and a cold front over Switzerland may have played a role in these events, while saturated soils from previous rains may have facilitated landslides. It would seem that such events are becoming more frequent and intense as a result of climate change.

Our client and partner, the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL), addresses questions about these weather events and emphasizes the crucial role of advanced technologies in timely data capture and provision. Sensors like the DL-MBX | Ultrasonic Distance / Level Sensor for LoRaWAN® have been specifically developed for flood monitoring and water level measurement. They are indispensable for early warning systems, providing precise data to assess risks and protect residents and their surroundings.
