How does it work?

Localized flash floods disrupt micro-insurance claims processes and force EV-charger shutdowns due to unexpected water depths. High-resolution nowcasting uses real-time geospatial data and machine learning to predict depth, enabling proactive mitigation and uninterrupted service.

Preemptive Alerts: The platform issues real-time alerts when predicted water depths exceed safe thresholds. This allows insurers and EV operators to enact protective measures before floods occur.
Enhanced Risk Modeling: High-resolution nowcasts refine flood risk models at micro scales for accurate insurance pricing. Insurers can adjust premiums and reserves based on localized depth projections.
Operational Uptime: EV-charger operators receive actionable forecasts to schedule maintenance or shut down units safely. This minimizes unexpected outages and preserves customer trust.
Claims Efficiency: Automated flood depth records streamline claims validation with geospatial evidence. Faster verification reduces processing times and administrative costs.
Asset Protection: Predictive depth maps guide placement of flood barriers and drainage systems around critical infrastructure. This targeted mitigation lowers repair expenses and downtime.
Scalable Coverage: Cloud-based analytics process multi-source satellite and radar data across large regions in minutes. This scalability supports insurers and utilities managing diverse portfolios.

How does flash-flood nowcasting compare to traditional weather forecasts?: Traditional forecasts offer coarse temporal and spatial resolution, limiting actionable insights for localized flash floods. Our nowcasting leverages real-time radar and ML to deliver depth predictions at meter-level granularity minutes ahead.
Why is nowcasting popular among micro-insurers?: Micro-insurers benefit from precise, hyperlocal risk assessments that reduce claim uncertainty and capital requirements. Real-time depth predictions enable dynamic premium adjustments tailored to specific flood exposures.
Can this solution replace gauge-based measurements?: While in-situ gauges provide accurate point data, they lack spatial coverage in urban and remote areas. Nowcasting complements gauges by offering continuous, wide-area depth estimates where sensors are sparse.
What are the limitations of flash-flood nowcasting?: Nowcasting accuracy can degrade under complex urban topography or dense vegetation where radar signals scatter. Data latency and sensor outages may cause temporary blind spots requiring supplementary ground observations.
How frequently can depth predictions update?: Predictions refresh every 5 to 10 minutes depending on data sources and processing pipelines. This near real-time cadence ensures timely alerts for fast-developing flood events.
What are alternatives to AI-based flood prediction?: Rule-based hydrodynamic models simulate flood flows using fixed parameters but require extensive calibration. Empirical statistical methods offer quick estimates but lack adaptability to sudden weather shifts.
