Every person in the network
is a node.
You don't need to be an engineer. You need curiosity, a stake in Utah's future, and a willingness to protect your neighbors.
The Network
Every ridge. Every canyon. Every neighbor watching.
Solar-powered sensor nodes. Peer-to-peer mesh. No cell towers, no satellites.
Run a Sensor Node
Pre-assembled sensor units work straight out of the box. Configure with a phone app, mount with solar, join the network automatically. No engineering background needed.
Request a NodeBuild Your Own
Open-source designs for community members who want to assemble their own sensor units. We provide instructions and parts list - beginner-friendly.

When you see something, file a report through our app. What you see feeds the early warning system. Early detection by a neighbor makes the difference.
Download the AppDevelop the Software
The entire platform is open source. React Native and Node.js developers can contribute. The more people who build and maintain sensors, the stronger the network.
