Flood Decision Support Toolbox Web Application
Detailed Description
This is a screenshot of the USGS Flood Decision Support Toolbox web application. Digital geospatial flood inundation mapping can be a powerful tool for flood risk management. Flood inundation mapping that shows floodwater extent and depth over the land surface improves flood preparedness, communication, warning, response, and mitigation. This inundation map is based on USGS real-time streamgage observations, National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts, and US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) flood operations.
