Smart early warning systems for Alpine risks

From heavy rainfall to wildfires: GMD® provides sensor and platform solutions to detect hazards early and ensure safety for municipalities and infrastructure operators.

Prevent extreme weather impacts

Early hazard detection. Stronger protection.

Floods, rockfall, avalanches, and wildfires are becoming more frequent and intense. GMD® combines rugged sensors with the AI-driven GeoSenseAI platform to detect risks early – giving communities and infrastructure operators the time they need to protect lives and assets.

Durable IoT sensors

AI-based risk detection

Quick & flexible deployment

“In 2025, no community should still be surprised by floods or landslides.
With our technology, these hazards can be detected early - and effectively managed.

Our key areas in natural hazard monitoring

Every natural hazard follows its own patterns, but with specialized IoT sensors and AI-driven analysis, GMD® makes risks visible early, helping communities and infrastructure operators protect people and assets.

Assess heavy rainfall risks more accurately with early warnings for rising water levels and slope instabilities.

Floods & heavy rainfall

Real-time monitoring of water levels, inflows, and slope movements. Early warnings give municipalities time to activate flood protection and safeguard infrastructure.

Minimize the risk of rockfall and landslides and implement protective measures.

Rockfall & landslides

Minimize risk: radar and vibration sensors detect rock movements and trigger immediate alerts. Roads, bridges, and settlements can be secured in time.

Monitor avalanche risks, close routes in time, and minimize hazards.

Avalanches

Snow depth sensors and weather stations continuously track conditions on critical slopes. Early avalanche warnings make it possible to close paths and protect alpine infrastructure.

Prevent wildfires with smart sensors, or contain them quickly.

Wildfires

Temperature and infrared sensors detect ignition risks instantly. Municipalities can respond early to contain wildfires and protect communities and nature.

How natural hazard monitoring works:

From measurement to action: Three steps to reliable safety.


Measure

Durable IoT sensors

capture water levels, slope shifts, snow, and temperature data, 24/7, even in harsh alpine conditions.

Assess

GeoSenseAI platform

uses AI-powered analytics to detect patterns, predict risks, and provide real-time assessments.

Alert

Instant alerts

via SMS or email, plus interactive monitoring and reporting dashboards.

GeoSenseAI Digital Platform

IoT-powered natural hazard monitoring with AI

For Alpine municipalities and critical infrastructure, early warning systems are vital to protect against heavy rainfall, flooding, and rockfall. GMD® combines robust IoT sensors with the AI-driven GeoSenseAI platform to deliver continuous, real-time environmental hazard monitoring: capturing data, analyzing risks, and issuing instant alerts.


This creates a trusted solution that turns invisible risks into actionable insights, enabling faster decisions, effective protection, and resilient infrastructure in Alpine regions.
