CUAHSI and the Global Resilience Institute at Northeastern University have collaborated to develop a web application that improves access to NOAA’s National Water Model (NWM) predictions, for water decision-makers and community resilience planners. FloodSavvy is a web-based interface that translates complex NWM data into simplified, actionable flood risk insights for community users. It renders forecasted and historically forecasted outputs, and pre-computed inundation maps in simple, intuitive formats. This post highlights the capabilities of this tool as well as the co-development process that was used to gather and assess community needs.
