  3. Days Like This…

  4. Often leave us asking - What does this mean to me???

  5. Often leave us asking - What should we do???

  6. And Often Result in Headlines like this

  7. What can a Real Time Forecasting System do? • Provide an opportunity to learn about potential flooding risks • Move people to safety and away from risk prone areas • Establish communications with emergency response teams and community • Reduce damage costs by removing valuables, vehicles, etc.

  8. How Does A RTF System Work? Numerical model(s) Data Import Model output Observed data and HEC-RAS Maps and Timeseries HEC-HMS Large scale forecasts Other Delft-FEWS platform Delft-FEWS platform

  9. Forecasting Period Now (Real-time Data) Past Future Flood Elevation Time Hindcast Period Forecast Period (7 Days) (7 Days)

  10. Data Import

  18. Numerical Models

  19. Numerical Models

  20. Numerical Models

  21. Numerical Models HEC-HMS sub-basins HEC-RAS rivers HEC-RAS cross sections HEC-RAS storage area CPPJ gauges

  22. Real Time Forecasting Results

  23. Real Time Forecasting Results Forecast Hindcast

  24. Real Time Forecasting Results - Thresholds Hindcast

  25. Real Time Forecasting Results - Animations

  26. Real Time Forecasting Results – Static Maps

  27. Real Time Forecasting Results – Fly Throughs Hindcasted Event – May 2016 https://youtu.be/D1lgOsQCULg

  28. Live Stream Utilization and Functionality

  29. Utilization • System has been setup as a Client/Server Setup. • Multiple people can login to the Server • Parish Staff have been trained on how to Utilize the System • Model has been setup to run once every hour

  30. Utilization • Better Understand the System and how it reacts to certain events • Find areas where to focus model refinement and future calibration • Easily identify gauging issues • Work with Office of Emergency Preparedness during Storm Response

  31. Functionality • Automatic emails will be sent if: • one of the tasks fails • data (from CPPJ gauges) or RAS modeled water level exceed one of the alert thresholds

  32. CURRENT AND FUTURE STEPS • Setup on the Client Server • CPPJ is utilizing the models to better understand their system • Utilize in major events • Engineers are identifying where model refinement/calibration should occur • Upgrade to a 2D model • Extend to other watersheds
