The "Silent Emergency" & HOA Reform

The "Good Samaritan" Disconnect

We have laws protecting people who act (Good Samaritan laws), but we have created a housing system (HOAs) that prevents the signal needed to initiate that act.

When a car crashes, it makes a noise. When a house catches fire, there is smoke. These visible cues trigger Good Samaritan intervention. But medical emergencies—Cardiac Arrest, Stroke, Home Invasions—are silent. They happen behind closed doors.

Emergency Response Context
73% of Cardiac Arrests happen in the home.
190,000 Americans die each year in a "Silent Emergency"—alone, with no one to render aid.
The "Golden Window": In a medical crisis, survival drops 10% every minute.

The Reality: EMS Can't Teleport. In many parts of Arizona, professional help is 8–15 minutes away, as shown by real-time data from the City of Phoenix—making the need for our patented innovation obvious.

The Tragedy: In thousands of these cases, a neighbor is just yards away, willing and able to help (CPR, Narcan, EpiPen), but they have no idea the emergency is happening. Glomensio Firefly is a first-of-its-kind innovation that ensures someone from your close neighbors can help you before it's too late. God may be omnipresent, but EMS is not.

The Obstacle: The "Silent Wall" of HOA Restrictions

Despite being a CES 2026 Innovation Award Honoree and securing a USAF Direct-to-Phase II memorandum, our advanced light up house number technology is effectively banned in thousands of Arizona homes.

The Loophole: Arizona Fire Code requires numbers to be "visible," but not "illuminated" or "active." HOAs use this ambiguity to ban safety devices, including illuminated house numbers, based on "aesthetics."

The Conflict: They are prioritizing "curb appeal" over the ability of a senior citizen to signal for help.

Glomensio Device and Legislation

The Asymmetry: Arizona law explicitly protects Solar Panels and Flags. It does not protect the right to signal for your life using modern light up house numbers for outside emergency visibility.

The Solution: A "Safe Harbor" Protection

We are not asking for a government mandate. We are not asking the state to spend money.

We are asking for a Property Rights update (similar to Arizona SB1083) that prevents HOAs from prohibiting the installation of:

"Illuminated emergency house numbers that activate during a 911 event to assist first responders and community intervention."
