Practices for Integrated Flood Prediction and Response Systems
State departments of transportation (DOTs) and
other state and local agencies have implemented integrated flood warning and response systems to mitigate the
effects of floods. These systems are critical for staging personnel, deciding when to close roads, inspecting bridges,
tracking floods throughout the state, and planning recovery.
The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's
NCHRP Synthesis 573:
Practices for Integrated Flood Prediction and Response Systems
documents an overview of the state of the practice from agencies involved in finding new or
innovative ways to improve flood management and response systems.
Supplementary to the report is
Appendix F, which includes
sample documents of practices related to integrated flood
prediction and response systems.
