  • Publication number: 20230038850
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for a flood-recovery analysis tool. One method includes operations for accessing weather information for a geographical region divided into cells and for generating runoff data based on the weather information. The runoff data includes a predicted amount of free-running water on a surface of each cell of the region. Further, the method includes operations for generating a prediction of inflow and outflow of water between cells, and for calculating, for a plurality of sub-cells of each cell in the geographical region, a predicted water depth in each sub-cell based on the prediction of the inflow and outflow between cells and a hydraulic model. Additionally, the method includes operations for generating a flood inundation map showing the predicted water depth at each sub-cell in the geographical region, and for causing presentation of the flood inundation map in a user interface of a display device.

  • Patent number: 10762588
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for a flood-recovery analysis tool. One method includes operations for generating a prediction of water depth in a geographical region based on weather data for the geographical region and topography data for the geographical region, and causing presentation of a flood inundation map showing the prediction of water depth in a user interface of a display device. The user interface includes an option for entering flood mitigation measures. Further, the method includes operations for receiving the flood mitigation measures via the user interface, updating the topography data to include the received flood mitigation measures, and generating an updated prediction of the water depth in the geographical region based on the updated topography data. An updated flood inundation map is presented in the user interface showing the updated prediction of the water depth and a geographical location of the flood mitigation measures.

  • Patent number: 10664937
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for flood-risk analysis and mapping. One method includes operations for presenting, in a graphical user interface (GUI), options for calculating a flood risk map, and receiving, via the GUI, input identifying a geographical region and a weather scenario. Further, the method includes operations for dividing the geographical region into cells; calculating, utilizing a hydrological model, an inflow and an outflow of water between cells in the geographical region based on the weather scenario; and calculating, utilizing a hydraulic model, water depth in each cell based on the weather scenario and the inflow and outflow of water between cells. The flood risk map, generated based on the calculated water depth in each cell, shows the probability that each cell in the geographical region will be inundated with water under the weather scenario. The flood risk map is presented in the GUI.
