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 Bureau of Meteorology has declared that La Niña is underway in the Pacific Ocean. So, what does this mean for Australia’s weather this summer? What is La Niña? La Niña is one phase of a Pacific Ocean phenomenon called the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The other phases of ENSO are El Niño and neutral. […]
Over 75,000 customers across southeast Queensland remain without power on Tuesday, after a peak of around 161,000 following the relatively brief, but intense severe thunderstorms complex that crossed the region on Monday afternoon. Damage to power utility networks and rescue efforts for residents was worse than those inflicted by Cyclone Alfred in March for some […]
The downstream influence of Severe Tropical Cyclone Fina caused intense inland heat to build and be drawn into eastern Australia, causing energy demand to soar in NSW and Queensland. Severe Tropical Cyclone Fina crossed the northeast Kimberley coast in WA late on Monday, November 24, 2025, but downstream influences from the system will be felt […]
Tropical Cyclone Fina has turned towards the Northern Territory coast and is expected to make landfall over the Top End on Friday, November 21, 2025. The system could then regain strength over the warm Van Diemen Gulf, before passing close to Darwin on the weekend. The last tropical cyclone to directly impact Darwin was Tropical […]
