Flood monitoring systems offer real-time data and insights into various factors like water levels, velocity, and rainfall, allowing for timely warnings and immediate action. They help authorities, communities, and organizations to make informed decisions, significantly reducing the loss of life and property.
• Understand flood monitoring schemes – based on remote sensing of precipitation observations – based on remote sensing of land surface observations • Use precipitation-based flood tools to monitor – flood potential based on accumulated precipitation – streamflow, runoff, flood intensity, and flood extent
The Flood Assessment Structure Tool (FAST) rapidly analyzes building-level flood risk using the Hazus flood model methodology. It was designed to make building-specific flood risk assessments quicker, simpler, and more resource effective.
Risk MAP provides high quality maps, information, and tools to better assess flooding risks as well as planning and outreach support to help communities take action to reduce (or mitigate) flood risk.
Using tools like drones, thermal cameras, and satellite imagery, forecasters have advanced sensing technologies that can reliably predict flood risks and allow forecasters to send out an early warning.
