Terra Guard continuously monitors for signs of landslides and forest fires using a temperature sensor for wildfire detection and an accelerometer for landslide detection. Upon startup, it sends a status message to the designated Telegram chat group, confirming that the system is online and operational. Terra Guard also features Auto-Status Reporting, which provides updates every 12 hours to ensure ongoing functionality and prompt maintenance. When potential threats are detected, it triggers a loud alarm and sends instant alerts to registered users via Telegram, facilitating timely evacuations. With GPS location tagging, it enables quick responses from local emergency services. This 24/7 mobile system can be deployed in various high-risk areas.
