Flood monitoring and early warning
The Varidx Smart Flood Early Warning System (SFEWS) gives local governments real-time updates on water levels, precipitation and soil saturation at the places that flood: creeks, storm drains, culverts, underpasses and intersections. Camera feeds confirm conditions visually, and street-specific alerts help teams close roads, warn residents and send crews where they are needed.
Key highlights
- Street-level dataSensors are placed at flood-prone intersections, culverts and neighborhoods, not only at riverside gauges.
- Camera verificationLive camera feeds let teams confirm flooding visually before they respond.
- ForecastingModels combine sensor data with historical flood behavior and weather forecasts to predict where flooding will occur next.
How it works
- Sensors — Track water levels, rainfall rates and soil saturation at critical points.
- Analysis — The platform processes sensor data with historical flood behavior and weather forecasts.
- Dashboard — Emergency and public works teams monitor conditions in real time and see clear, fast-to-read alerts.
- Automation — Street signs, gates, mobile apps and emails can be triggered automatically during an emergency.
Planning for resilience
Long-term water level records show which roads and neighborhoods flood repeatedly, helping cities decide where to invest in drainage and stormwater improvements.
