▲ From rainfall to alert in minutes

See the flood coming — and act in time.

FloodDash fuses NOAA radar rainfall, rain and stream gauges, and AI nowcasting into one live picture of your watershed — then warns the right people the moment a threshold is crossed, while there's still time to respond.

The platform

One dashboard. Every signal. No more tab-juggling during a storm.

During an event, the worst place to be is spread across a dozen browser tabs. FloodDash brings rainfall, river stage, forecasts, and your own thresholds into a single situational picture — and turns crossing a threshold into an alert that actually reaches people.

Real-time monitoring

Live rainfall, accumulation, and stream-stage for every basin and asset you care about, refreshed continuously.

Threshold alerting

Set rainfall, accumulation, rate-of-rise, and stage thresholds per location — get notified the instant one is crossed.

Multi-channel notify

SMS, email, and voice to the right on-call people, with escalation if an alert isn't acknowledged.

Lead-time forecasts

0–6 hour nowcasts extend warning time, so crews mobilize and roads close before water arrives.

Map & basin view

See where rain is falling and intensifying across your service area, weighted to your catchments — not generic tiles.

Event logging

Every alert, acknowledgment, and reading is timestamped for after-action review and the record.

How it works

Rainfall in. The right alert out.

FloodDash continuously fuses radar and gauges into accurate rainfall, compares it (and the forecast) against your thresholds, and routes alerts with enough lead time to matter.

1

Sense

NEXRAD radar, MRMS, rain gauges, and stream gauges stream in and are quality-controlled in real time.

2

Fuse & forecast

Radar is gauge-corrected into accurate rainfall; AI nowcasting and NWS HRRR project the next hours.

3

Evaluate

Live and forecast values are checked against your per-basin thresholds and rate-of-rise rules.

4

Alert & act

The right people are notified across channels with escalation — and the whole event is logged.

Alerting that escalates

Tiered alerts, so urgency is never ambiguous.

Configurable tiers map directly to how your team already operates — each with its own thresholds, recipients, and channels. Labels and values are illustrative.

Tier 1

Watch

Conditions favorable for flooding developing. Heads-up to on-call staff; monitor the dashboard closely.

Tier 2

Warning

Thresholds crossed or imminent. Notify crews and stakeholders; begin pre-positioning and protective actions.

Tier 3

Emergency

Severe, rapid rise. Full escalation with voice + SMS and mandatory acknowledgment; activate response plans.

Important: FloodDash is a decision-support tool. It does not replace official NOAA / National Weather Service watches and warnings or your local emergency-management systems. Life-safety decisions should always follow official sources.
Advanced analytics

AI that buys you minutes — the minutes that matter.

In a flash flood, lead time is everything. Machine learning extends how far ahead you can see and cuts the false alarms that erode trust in an alerting system.

Nowcast lead time

Deep-learning rainfall projection extends warning windows beyond what radar extrapolation alone provides.

Rate-of-rise prediction

Rainfall-to-response models anticipate fast-responding, flashy basins before stage data confirms it.

False-alarm reduction

Learned context separates a passing cell from a genuine threat, so alerts stay credible.

Anomaly detection

Clogged gauges, stuck sensors, and radar artifacts are flagged before they trigger a bad alert.

Who we serve

For everyone who has to act when water rises.

Water & wastewater utilities

Protect treatment plants, lift stations, and crews; trigger wet-weather and overflow response with lead time.

Counties & municipalities

Public-safety awareness, low-water-crossing and road-closure triggers, and a clear common operating picture.

Emergency management

Early, basin-specific warning to position resources, notify the public, and coordinate response.

Flood control & water districts

Basin monitoring, reservoir and channel awareness, and threshold alerts tied to operations.

DOTs & transportation

Rainfall and rate alerts for flood-prone corridors, underpasses, and crossings.

Campuses, sites & dam safety

Site-specific monitoring and alerting for facilities, reservoirs, and critical infrastructure.

Questions

Frequently asked

Does FloodDash replace NWS warnings?
No. FloodDash is a decision-support and situational-awareness tool that gives you basin-specific, earlier signals tailored to your thresholds. It complements — and never replaces — official NOAA/NWS watches and warnings and your local emergency systems.
Where does the data come from?
Public NOAA/NWS feeds — NEXRAD radar, MRMS, and HRRR — fused with rain and stream gauges (yours, USGS, or regional). We're independent and not affiliated with NOAA or the NWS.
How much lead time can I expect?
It depends on your basins — flashy urban catchments respond in minutes, larger watersheds in hours. Nowcasting and rate-of-rise models are tuned per basin to maximize usable warning time. Any figures shown here are illustrative.
Can we set our own thresholds and recipients?
Yes. Thresholds for rainfall, accumulation, rate-of-rise, and stage are configurable per location, with tiered recipients, channels (SMS/email/voice), and escalation rules.
How do you avoid alert fatigue?
Tiered alerting, learned false-alarm reduction, and acknowledgment/escalation logic keep alerts meaningful, so people trust them when it counts.
