Community Flood Intelligence

The Community Flood Intelligence project, led by ANU students, aims to transform early detection of catastrophic flooding. The project will construct and implement a decentralized network of rain gauges and water level measuring instruments in the catchments of flood-prone areas. This network will operate independently of cellular service, ensuring reliability even if the existing network is compromised. Our vision is to communicate and accurately predict when a major flood will occur so that communities and emergency services can respond proactively, ultimately saving resources, time, and lives.
