Resilient Rivers development programme webinar
SAFER (Service for Advanced Flood Emergency Response) is an action-research initiative developing a practical framework for improved flood forecasting, situational awareness and emergency response.
This webinar will showcase progress to date, including:
The five stages and 4 tiers of SAFER
new weather and water control room dashboards providing enhanced access to weather and water data,
improved access to and visualisation of MetService radar rainfall (QPE) products, RainCast and WRF forecasts,
The new WISER Storm Risk rainfall exceedance tools for both observed and forecast conditions.
An update on the project’s tiered flood forecasting approach, including machine-learning forecasting trials in the Thames–Kauaeranga catchment and hybrid forecasting solutions being developed for the Waipā, Waikato and Hauraki river systems.
Looking ahead, SAFER aims to connect forecasts, alerts, operational procedures and task management within a single operational environment, helping agencies access better information before, during and after flood events to support more informed and coordinated decision-making.
