Floods are one of the natural disasters that often occur in urban and rural Indonesia and cause many losses to the community. The extreme global warming that triggers climate change and causes flooding may occur at any time and cannot be avoided. As the technology of the digital era becomes increasingly advanced, it is required to participate in reducing the level of losses as much as possible through the distribution of critical information. Distribution of factual and actual information is a target that must be achieved in technological evolution, which can be developed as a signal for early flood detection. With the existence of early detection tools, the government can put greater efforts into the mitigation of flood disasters and minimize losses from the impact of floods. This final project aims to implement a data transmission system using LoRa as a gateway to interact from a considerable distance without an internet network. The Telecommunication Natural Disaster Anticipation (TELENADIA) system has been assembled with 4 main sensors, namely wind speed, rainfall, temperature, and water level, which are integrated into one system. Furthermore, data that has been retrieved from hard-to-reach points of the internet network is sent via LoRa to the server and continues to the cloud, which processes the data until the information can be read by the end-user. The results from the TELENADIA system show that data is successfully transmitted through the four sensors at the farthest distance of 800 m with high intervention conditions in lowland locations and is successfully equipped with a self-recharging feature. Thus, TELENADIA can be used as a tool for early flood detection in areas without the internet.
