Abstract
A flood sensor includes a notification unit that notifies of detection of flooding, and a primary battery. The primary battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator that is disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode and to which an electrolyte adheres. When the separator is flooded, the electrolyte is dissolved in water to form an electrolyte solution, and the primary battery starts generating power to supply power necessary for driving the notification unit.
