To provide Flood Forecasts, we monitor:
- Historical data
- Precipitation forecasts
- Satellite images
Based on this information and publicly available data, we run 2 main types of machine learning models:
- Hydrologic models:Provides forecasts of river water levels for upcoming days.
- Inundation models:Provides forecasts for the flood extent on the ground. This information tells us who to notify and helps us provide flood maps on Google Maps.
