Flood early warning / Citizen service waterlevel.info
In the event of heavy rainfall or an impending flood, effective communication is crucial. Citizens must be informed about flooding in a targeted manner. Currently, many water levels are being read on-site. When a flood is imminent, it's often not just dark, cold, and rainy, but roads are also difficult to navigate. It's unpleasant for emergency services to travel along rivers and monitor them regularly.
The self-contained water level monitoring station, wasserstand.info, is installed at critical locations. The river level is recorded at regular intervals and transmitted to the web platform. If a threshold is exceeded, the measurement intervals are automatically shortened. The water levels are publicly accessible on the website wasserstand.info. Historical data and forecasts are also provided.
Citizens can obtain information free of charge for a specific zone. The fire department/disaster relief services can warn all residents within a zone about an impending flood at the touch of a button.
wasserstand.info is a self-contained water level monitoring station equipped with a radar sensor. Rivers are monitored, and when a defined water level is exceeded, automatic alerts are sent to emergency services. wasserstand.info enables faster response times and a more comprehensive overview of the actual threat situation on site.
Furthermore, the citizen service allows users to send an SMS message at the touch of a button to all registered residents in a zone to inform them of an impending flood.
