You know earlier which streets, underpasses and districts will flood under a particular rainfall situation. The works depot and fire brigade can be prepared before the first emergency calls come in.

Is this for you?

  • Your municipality has repeatedly had heavy rainfall or flood callouts, and it is often the same places.
  • There are readings from rain gauges, water level gauges or sewer sensors, or you can set them up.
  • Fire brigade and works depot callouts are documented with date and location.
First step today

Compile a table from the incident reports of recent years: date, rainfall in one hour and in 24 hours from the nearest weather station, number of callouts per district, without addresses and names. Use the template below to show which districts react to short heavy rainfall and which to long periods of continuous rain.

How to go about it

  1. Decide which situation is to be forecast
  2. Collect readings, maps and callout history
  3. Have the situation overview and forecast calculated
  4. Check against actual events
  5. Build it into alarm and emergency plans
  6. Refine after every event and every construction project
