Communicating Flood Warnings
Team #5: FMA Engineering
Sponsor: BYU Hydroinformatics Lab, Aquaveo
Mentor: Dr. Nelson
Team Members: Jacob Anderson, Justin Hunter, Alma Meyer, Taylor Porter
The BYU Hydroinformatics Lab has developed several different sources for providing flood awareness/warning but there is a challenge orchestrating and communicating that information in a way that those who need it can make decisions and take action. We are working with the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) to develop standards for communicating flood information. This capstone team will be part of the pilot to develop a dashboard/app/bulletin that combines information from the GEOGloWS global forecast, satellite information, and exposure to communicate flood warnings.
