AUTOMATIC FLASH FLOOD WARNING FOR SWIFT PROTECTION AGAINST HAZARDS

Flash floods are sudden and unpredictable. Within min- utes, floods can rise over the banks of streams and onto the roads, sweeping away cars, devastating houses, and killing people.

Although weather services usually issue warnings before severe weather occurs, the towns affected are generally poorly prepared for flash flooding. This is hard to believe, since most regions in Germany have detailed special maps that deliberately highlight the danger zones so that places at risk can prepare accordingly. However, these maps are rarely to be found in town halls, fire stations or at emergency services centers, which is why people usually fail to take proactive measures. What’s more, the special maps are relatively roughly drawn; obstructive buildings and roads acting as channels are not always shown. In addition, because of climate change, extreme weather events are occurring more and more frequently and are also becoming harder to predict.

As a result of such developments, the maps are not able to solve every problem, which is why an [[366|IoT solution]] is required that can identify dangers early on in the farthest-flung corners and reliably raise the alarm for any imminent floods around the clock. This makes it possible to notify the necessary agencies (e.g. emergency services) automatically in a matter of seconds, thereby enabling appropriate measures to be taken promptly.
