Combine high-resolution flood forecasts with the power of AEM Elements™ 360. The Vflo Flood Forecast is a cutting-edge, physics-based model that delivers fast, hyperlocal predictions to enhance disaster response, strengthen collaboration, and built more resilient communities.
Integrates surface and subsurface runoff for a more precise prediction.
Continuously refines predictions using real-time sensor data, GARR, and AI-driven analysis.
Delivers reliable predictive data up to three days in advance, improving preparedness efforts.
Our Vflo Flood Forecast Model equips decision-makers with the detailed data they need to anticipate and mitigate the effects of severe floods. It enables early warning systems, real-time data sharing, and a cost-effective approach to disaster preparedness.
advanced hydrologic model
Vflo seamlessly integrates watershed hydrology and hydraulics to generate critical flood data, including discharge, stage, and mapped inundation, all within a single application. Designed to work with gridded rainfall inputs such as GARR, it offers a comprehensive view of complex watershed processes, ensuring more accurate and detailed flood predictions.
The model provides precise, gridded runoff data from both groundwater and surface water, improving overall forecasting accuracy. Vflo also calculates multiple hydrologic water balance components for each grid cell, such as infiltration and saturation excess, subsurface runoff, evapotranspiration, and soil moisture, ensuring a thorough and reliable analysis of flood risks.
accuracy and performance
Vflo leverages advanced AI and machine learning, including genetic algorithms, to constantly improve the accuracy and performance of its flood predictions. With continuous modules and real-time sensitivity analysis, the model refines its forecasts, providing unmatched reliability and precision to help you stay ahead of flood risks.
collaborative decision support
With AEM Elements 360, you gain a powerful command center for early flood warnings. Integrate Vflo forecast data, sensor information, and third-party sources into a single, streamlined platform for deeper insights and better decision-making. Set up real-time alerts with customizable rules and use advanced maps, charts, and dashboards to turn raw data into actionable intelligence, boosting the impact of your flood forecasts.
Flood forecast models are essential tools used across various industries and applications for managing flood risks and preparing for potential disasters. The Vflo Flood Forecast Model is used for real-time flood forecasting to support disaster preparedness and response, optimize water resource management in river basins, and assist urban planners in designing flood-resilient infrastructure. It also plays a role in safeguarding transportation infrastructure and hydroelectric power facilities, while helping researchers understand flood risks in the context of climate change adaptation.
Vflo provides dynamic, real-time updates, allowing emergency responders to plan and prepare for severe flood events before they happen. As a critical piece of a flood early warning system, it is visualized in AEM Elements 360 along with various other data sources to deliver deeper insights and increase confidence in decisions when moments matter.
Why is high-resolution flood prediction important?
Accurate, high-resolution flood predictions allow for better resource allocation, more informed decision-making, and improved infrastructure protection, reducing the costs and impact of severe flood events.
