Advanced Technologies for Offering Situational Intelligence in Flood Warning and Response Systems: A Literature Review

Deaths and property damage from floods have increased drastically in the past two decades due to various reasons such as populations, unplanned developments, climate change. Such losses can be reduced by issuing timely early warnings through effective response mechanisms based on situational intelligence during emerging flood situations. This paper presents outcome of a literature review that was conducted identify types sources required for warning processes well technology solutions used offering intelligence. Twenty-seven different are presented together with technologies extract Furthermore, conceptual architecture illustrates how relevant at stages cycle decision-making planning responses is presented.
