SAS for Flood Prediction & Preparedness
POWERED BY AZURE IOT
Real-time situational awareness for alerting emergency services and improving citizen safety.
Municipalities around the globe are at risk of flooding from both natural (rain, snow, hurricanes, tidal surge, etc.) and unnatural (water main breaks, system failures, etc.) events. Population growth and urbanization compound these risks each year. Having little to no visibility into factors such as rising river levels or water speed makes it impossible to prepare a timely response to flooding incidents. SAS can help.
How SAS® Enables Flood Prediction & Preparedness
Powered by SAS Analytics for IoT and Azure IoT, our solution combines easy-to-deploy solar-powered sensors and cloud-based predictive analytics to improve your real-time situational awareness.
Easy-to-deploy sensors
- Solar-powered, cellular-enabled sensors measure water height and depth, current flow, rainfall and other metrics in rivers, bays, coastal areas, bridges, etc.
Predictions & alerts of possible flooding
- Telemetry data from sensors is uploaded via cellular communications to the cloud and combined with weather data.
- Machine learning is used to predict possible flooding incidents and alert teams in advance.
- A web-based app provides a map view of bodies of water, real-time and historical data, and alert and prediction summaries, enabling fast response.
Integration with existing processes & systems
- Our solution integrates easily with the processes and systems you already have in place to support your flooding response without requiring a substantial investment.
