Advanced Inundation Mapping and LiDAR Inventory for Flood Response Systems
This project focuses on the utilization of high-resolution LiDAR data for flood inundation mapping. By employing steady-state hydraulic modeling, graphical representations of flood stages are developed to enhance situational awareness across various locations nationwide. It integrates real-time data sharing through platforms like GATOR and Freeance Mobile, facilitating access to critical information during flood events. The initiative supports emergency response teams by creating a collaborative environment for sharing flood profiles and critical facility information, contributing to more informed decision-making in disaster scenarios.

Inundation Mapping http://www.weather.gov/ahps/inundation.php • Graphical representation of flood inundation for flood stages based on steady state hydraulic modeling of water surface elevations for incremented discharges for selection locations across the nation • NO LOCATIONS WITHIN FLA!
Pre-requisites • Forecast point • LiDAR for a good DEM • Riverine Flood Insurance Study Process • Develop flood profiles for incremental flood levels • Provide “flood library” to partners
http://map.floridadisaster.org/GATOR Geospatial Assessment Tool for Operations and Response web mapping application real-time data like weather radar, watches, storm reports base map and post-event data GATOR
http://map.floridadisaster.org/ArcGIS/KML • Critical Facilities • “Excepted Facilities” • USNG layers • Primary Indicators of Response • http://map.floridadisaster.org/ArcGIS/rest/services • All of the above, and more • Real-time weather, storm surge zones • Event data
Freeance Mobile • light-weight web mapping application • real-time data like weather radar, watches, storm reports
An information sharing initiative (not an application, nor a website) Regional Operational Pilot Platform between southeastern states from Feb – Nov 2009 Florida State Emergency Response Team participates, creates new mapping website, KML network links, and GeoRSS feeds Virtual USA
