FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE
Flash Flood Guidance is to forecast the amount of rainfall needed to cause bankfull in small streams. The system was developed for the Central America countries as a early warning system by the Hydrologic Research Center (San Diego, California).

CONCLUSIONS
Jacqueline Rivera _ El Salvador
Jacqueline Rivera _ El Salvador
The environment ministry is developing a complete system for monitoring natural
- hazards. Proving their effectiveness
The hazard monitoring center is the most complete in Central America. The improvement and expansion of remote sensing is going to allow a better response to natural events and reduce the impact.
