A Study of an SMS-Based Flood Warning System for Flood Risk Areas in Laos

Mapping the flood-prone areas for developing a flood risk management system in the northeast of Iran

Sms Based Flood Level Monitoring System

This paper demonstrates the design process, implementation and experimental verification of a Flood Level Monitoring system. The main objective of the proposed system is to be able to read the water level at every second, display it to the supervisor and alert the affected populace and relevant authorities by means of an alarm and short message system (SMS) when the level of water surpasses a u...

An Integrated Simulation and Distribution System for Early Flood Warning

This research presents an integrated system of computer software, networking and web-based display developed and deployed to allow drainage management authorities immediate access to results from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Hydrological Extension model, WRF-Hydro. Output data from the model are analyzed by a chain of GIS, database and web publishing tools to forge updated and rea...

A Framework for Flood Risk Analysis and Benefit Assessment of Flood Control Measures in Urban Areas

Flood risk analysis is more complex in urban areas than that in rural areas because of their closely packed buildings, different kinds of land uses, and large number of flood control works and drainage systems. The purpose of this paper is to propose a practical framework for flood risk analysis and benefit assessment of flood control measures in urban areas. Based on the concept of disaster ri...

An Evaluation of the Flood Warning Information System

The focus of this paper is on a prototype information system called the Flood Warning Information System (FWIS) that has been developed for the purpose of communicating flood risks to the public. The system explores the use of a graphic and spatial interface for presenting and accessing flood warning messages. Graphics are being used to challenge traditional flood warning modes because they app...
