8 department modules, 6 of them built.

Industry served

A US county’s emergency management office with its floodplain administrator

the response duty and the substantial-damage decision on one map. Demonstration watch area: Washington County, Vermont.

FloodSurge sets critical facilities against FEMA flood zones, then adds modelled streamflow and river gauges with their stage.

The sources are public and named on screen: the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, the NOAA National Water Model, the National Water Prediction Service and USGS gauges.

Department modules

8
each owned and accountable on its own.

01FloodSurge Command

What needs attention now — gauges by the category the NWS states, forecast crossings, the latest rain, open events and unassessed facilities, led by what is missing.

02River Watch

Observed and forecast stage at every gauge, coloured by that gauge’s own NWS flood categories, with a hydrograph for each.

03Rain & Streamflow Outlook

MRMS observed rain and WPC forecast precipitation, each with its issue time read from the file. Streamflow on National Water Model reaches is not built.

04Observed Extent

Where the water is now, from imagery. No code yet — blocked on two open data-licence items.

05Forecast Inundation

The NWS five-day maximum forecast extent, marked as generated by a model, not observed. No depth by hour.

06Exposure & Critical Facilities

Flood zones, structures and critical facilities against an extent — and a facility nobody has assessed reads as not assessed.

07Events, Alerts & Reports

Events on the shared incident record; priority areas carry county-set threat levels, draw red at Alarm and send email and webhook notices. No SMS.

08Field Survey & Substantial Damage

Field-app capture forms only. The web console and the substantial-damage worklist are not built.

Six of eight surfaces built · observed extent not started · NOAA/NWS, USGS and FEMA public sources
AI decision support

One analyst across every source the asking user can see, inside that user's grants.

“Which gauges are forecast to cross a flood category, and which critical facilities sit inside the forecast extent?”

The platform resolves

Reads each gauge’s NWS forecast against that gauge’s own flood categories, draws the NWS five-day maximum extent, and lists the facilities inside it — leading with the ones nobody has assessed.

The guardrailDerived from NWS data, never an official warning. A forecast extent is marked generated, and a threat level is the county’s own rule, not a probability.

Shared

One map, one catalog, one sign-in

FloodSurge runs on the same engine as every other edition, with 30 shared capabilities built once.
