DTN APAC, delivers the Flood Risk System (FRS) to provide flood risk visibility. You can now easily visualise precipitation, and access rapid-update forecasting, across multiple sections of your site with the FRS geofenced alerting system. Gain a more precise determination with DTN APAC’s advanced geospatial technology creating hundreds of virtual ‘weather stations’ for each monitored section or culvert.
Rainfall is measured across each of your established catchments, with alerting calibrated to their individual thresholds. Alerts are raised when thresholds for any section are approaching or have been breached. This gives you targeted risk visibility to inform your assessment, operational response and emergency management.
The FRS can be integrated into your existing DTN APAC interface, or your own monitoring and control systems. Real-time monitoring of each catchment’s predefined thresholds is coupled with forecasting of rain, so you can provide your team with the most up-to-date information on whether conditions will ease, continue, or worsen.
The FRS gives you an overview of every catchment on your site on one, easy-to-interpret API. Don’t waste time analysing complex water level and meteorological data. This monitoring system delivers local evaluation and notifications in real time, in a simple format that supports your situational awareness. Optimise your preparedness and proactive assessment with a clear overview of on-site conditions, both current and forecast.
Enhance measurement systems and heighten risk visibility by sharing the FRS rainfall monitoring data with a third party to integrate hydrology and culvert alerts for your site.
Protect your team with audible and visual advanced warnings delivered through the summary interface, as well as by SMS, email and our WeatherGuard app for those in the field.
Maintain flood risk awareness and improve communications with trusted local information, flood monitoring and alerts, and team-wide access to FRS data.
The FRS is driven by Oracle – our satellite-derived, gridded nowcasting system: forecasting at a 1-2km resolution and updating every 10 minutes. Oracle has the upper hand in capturing hyper-local temperature, lightning, cloud cover, wind and amount of rainfall for your location, no matter how remote. DTN APAC uses local and on-site weather stations to benchmark the radar system, helping remove model bias, and improving overall accuracy.
As your business integrates the FRS, it is trained to increase precision. Based on your feedback, catchment thresholds can be altered. If your business observes that the system may be under-playing or over-playing flood event risk based on information on site, we adjust accordingly. Alterations can be made quickly and, over time, the system can be continually optimised to flood conditions on-site.

The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) index has dropped below -0.4°C – the critical threshold for a negative IOD event if sustained. Could Australia see its first negative IOD event since 2022? What is the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD)? The IOD is a measure of the difference in Sea Surface Temperatures (SST) across the equatorial Indian […]
A cold Southern Ocean air mass will spread across Australia this week, causing a run of wintry days and nights for much of the country before possibly culminating in heavy rain along the east coast. The image below shows a tongue of cold air extending from the Southern Ocean towards southwestern Australia on Monday. This […]
Significant rain has fallen across the southwest of WA, with Perth recording 41mm in the 24 hours to 9am Monday, making it the city’s wettest day in just over a year. This latest soaking means that Perth has now exceeded its average monthly rainfall, with 174.2mm in the gauge for July 2025 to date, compared […]
