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.
Rain and thunderstorms are expected to spread over heatwave affected parts of northern India and Pakistan in the coming days, bringing much needed relief to people and infrastructure. Northwest India and Pakistan have been scorched by intense heat reaching well into the 40s over the past two weeks. The capital of India, New Delhi, had […]
The Pacific and Indian Ocean climate drivers remain in a neutral phase, with weather around Australia continuing to be dominated by more local effects. Pacific Ocean climate driver The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has returned to a truer neutral phase, after trending towards a La Niña-like phase during summer. Sea Surface Temperatures (SST) across […]
An outbreak of heavy rain and severe thunderstorms will impact Victoria and NSW over the coming long weekend. As seen in the synoptic image below, this outbreak of storms and wet weather will be caused by a broad low pressure trough and cold front. Image: Synoptic image for Friday, 25 April. As the weekend goes […]
