A LoRa-based Wireless Sensors Network (WSN) for rockfall and landslide monitoring is an innovative solution designed for real-time, remote detection and early warning of geohazards, especially in challenging or inaccessible regions. LoRa (Long Range) communication technology enables the deployment of autonomous, low-power sensor nodes that can monitor key indicators of rockfall and landslide activity, such as soil moisture, ground tilt, temperature, rainfall, and vibration. These sensors are distributed in a star or mesh topology and communicate over long distances to a central gateway, which aggregates and transmits data to a server for analysis. The system allows rapid detection of critical ground movements, providing timely alerts and supporting mitigation efforts. Portable LoRa WAN-based assemblies powered by solar energy make these networks cost-effective and suitable for remote and rugged terrain. Real-world deployments have shown the feasibility of continuous data collection, energy efficiency, and reliable performance, enhancing safety and disaster preparedness in vulnerable areas. This approach makes use of dedicated hardware (such as HC12 modules and NodeMCU) and software platforms (like Arduino IDC, Nodejs), and is scalable for integration of weather and ground sensors. It facilitates effective disaster management by offering high accuracy and rapid response times even in areas without traditional communications infrastructure
