As Australia is battling its severest floods yet, the devastating effect floods have on our communities are becoming painfully clear. With floods being predicted to displace 50 million people by 2100.
It would be amiss not to highlight the Brisbane startup previously featured on IdeaSpies. FloodMapp. They are on a mission to shake up hydrology and predictive analytics with their modern approach to flood data. Using real-time specific flood forecasting and mapping, FloodMapp interoperates with existing geographic information systems and provides situational awareness to emergency response and recovery personnel. Improving the emergency management process.
Great to see this idea, first spotted by IdeaSpies in 2018, do so well
