A proof of concept will be developed using aggregated data to aid Australia’s emergency services in preparation before a flood event, as well as during and post-event.
The Australian Bureau of Meteorology has approached the market seeking a flood intelligence modelling proof of concept to help emergency services make informed over the lifecycle of potential flood events. The agency said the short-term solution, which needs to be delivered by the 28 February 2022, must be able to provide seven-day forecasts to aid preparation for flood events, real-time data during events, post-event data to show the actual impact of events, as well as annual, aggregated flood data. At the same time, the tender papers also indicated the system needed to be “highly accurate” in providing national coverage.
