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.
