Details
There is growing recognition of the need to provide maps of flood extents and impacts in real time to support improved flood incident management. This project shows that the best way to provide this information is through a combination of pre-made flood maps and simplified flood modelling.
The Pitt Review (2008), Exercise Watermark (2011) and the Environment Agency’s Flood Incident Management Plan (2015) all identified the need for real time information on flood inundation and consequent impact.
