Overview
Today’s flood intelligence is slow, static, and the quality is generic. Floods unfold in real-time and traditional tools and analysis cannot keep up. Flood forecasts are too broad and generally refer to peak flood heights. This translates to broad warnings, with no context of the flood exposure or impact to particular people or assets. There is no timely, high-quality data, which means planning is broad because it is based on assumptions for worst-case risk. FloodMapp is a world-first flood modelling solution purpose built for impact-based flood forecasting and emergency management. Aimed at improving safety and preventing damage, FloodMapp provides highly accurate, real-time, property-level and dynamic flood inundation and depth insights for businesses exposed to flooding. This kind of data provides unrivalled situational awareness to inform decision making, during and after a flood event. This enables targeted evacuations, loss prevention, minimising business interruption and lost productivity. We predominantly service utilities, transport, mining, insurance and public sector. FloodMapp combines big data analytics, automation and machine learning techniques with novel hydrology and hydraulic models to achieve large-scale, rapid flood modelling. Our proprietary technology reads in real-time and forecasted rainfall and river height data, which our models use to estimate predicted peak river heights at scale at scale and generate large scale inundation mapping.
