Diving Deep: Divirod Partners with Hospitality Groups to Take on Climate Change and Water Data Scarcity with New Global Coastal Observation Network Initiative
Due to the vast number of coastal hotel properties across the globe, the integration of sensing technology at these locations is pivotal to combating water data scarcity. says Ava Jordan , Program Administrator and Executive Assistant to the CEO.
The benefits of this program for the hospitality groups are immeasurable. In the occurrence of a high-water event, such as king tide, storm surge, or flood, these sensors will provide real-time data and actionable insights, prompting resiliency plans to be enacted to mitigate damage, and ensure staff, and guest safety. Furthermore, this data is extremely useful for insurers protecting these properties. Traditionally, insurance claims for flood damage rely heavily on post-event assessments and subjective reports. However, with the accurate, localized data provided by Divirod, insurers would gain access to objective, immediate information to assist them in their damage assessment, expediting the claims process and minimizing potential rate increases and disputes.
Incorporating data insights from Divirod's units not only enhances the hotel or hospitality groups' internal sustainability programs, but also serves as a powerful marketing tool. Through this initiative, hoteliers can transparently showcase their environmental commitment, sharing their data with guests through QR codes, signage, or digital displays in public areas. Additionally, they can provide access to reports on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives, and reinforce their brand as a sustainable hospitality leader. Utilizing Divirod data as a benchmark for sea level rise preparedness further strengthens the hotel's credibility and resilience in the face of climate-related challenges, all without incurring additional costs.

Divirod's mission is to build the most comprehensive local, national, and global environmental water-data network ever established. The company utilizes cutting-edge technology to rapidly deploy and measure all forms of water with accurate precision, addressing critical geographical data gaps and augmenting existing, but outdated, sparse, and disparate environmental water-monitoring systems. In the short term, the Divirod network fills data gaps, enabling localized and real-time "speed to knowledge/action" for more-informed emergency responses to protect against impending water risks that threaten properties, economies, and human lives. Over time, the increase in captured data, through the Divirod global network coverage, enhances smarter water-risk decisions and guides critical resiliency initiatives to greatly minimize future water risks.
