This no-tech, no-app device detects rising water, sounds an alarm, and flashes a light—perfect for flood-prone areas. Inspired by her childhood summers at a Hill Country camp, Daniella Rempe is determined to prevent future tragedies. The alarm, attachable to trees or fences, is being tested, patented, and commercialized through RiseAlert LLC, aiming to make it as affordable and accessible as smoke detectors to combat flash floods worldwide.
