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.
Nearly all of Thailand’s airports either have single or parallel runways, so how do monsoonal bursts affect the airport operations and why do they rarely need cross runways? Like most countries in the tropics, a seasonal reversal in the winds occurs with the shift in the monsoon. This makes infrastructure planning during an airport’s construction […]
Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred brought intense rainfall and strong winds over the weekend, leaving about 450,000 homes across southeast Queensland and northeast NSW without power. The video below shows heavy rainfall impacting southeast Queensland and northeast NSW on Sunday evening as the remnants of Tropical Cyclone Alfred moved inland. Image: Six-hour radar and satellite loop to […]
While southeast Qld is bracing for dangerous weather from Tropical Cyclone Alfred, heavy rain that may cause flooding in the coming days will likely impact transport operations in the coming days across NSW. The video below shows Alfred crossing the coast near or to the south of Brisbane and rapidly weakening over land to a […]
Ports across NSW and Qld are on high alert as Tropical Cyclone Alfred is set to produce damaging winds, large and powerful surf and coastal erosion in the coming days. Tropical Cyclone Alfred is currently sitting around 600km off Brisbane and is travelling southeast but is expected to make a right turn towards southeast Qld later […]
