Winter storms, natural disasters, and public emergencies can occur at any given moment, causing unpredictable service interruptions, which in turn cause ridership confusion and flooding call centers with trip inquiries.

The Flood Hub are now on LinkedIn! Alright, I'm a little late to the party; they've been here for a few months. But if you work with communities at risk of flooding, and you've not had a look at https://thefloodhub.co.uk/ then it's well worth popping over to have a hunt around. There's lots on there for householders and communities (and more) about how to check flood risk, make an emergency plan, make properties more flood resilient, and advice on how to navigate the flood recovery process - including fact sheets that are easy to print off and use at events. It's funded by the NW Regional Flood and Coastal Committee, so some of the information is specific to the north west, but lots of it is useful more widely....

What is NowCast?    NowCast answers the question: "What is the extent of the flooding right now?"    It’s a dynamic, live map that updates every hour and shows the current extent and depth of a flood in real-time.    Enabling emergency managers and relevant agencies to see the locations that are currently impacted by floodwater, to street level, limits the need to send personnel into dangerous environments to verify reports. It also helps with the distribution of resources, like swiftwater rescue technicians, to where they’re needed most.    The real-life impacts of this technology also include identifying properties that have become isolated by floodwater when communication methods are limited or knowing what critical assets need urgent attention.    Learn more about how NowCast can help your response capabilities here: https://lnkd.in/gtpaCn8m #emergencymanagement #floodintelligence #situationalawareness
