Problem Statement/Idea:
Problem:
Floods are becoming more frequent and destructive, but existing forecasting systems provide delayed or generalized
warnings, limiting timely action and effective disaster management.
Importance:
Frequent floods cause massive loss of life, property, and economic damage. Real-time, accurate predictions are
crucial to save lives and reduce destruction.
Gaps in Current Solutions:
•Delayed Warnings: Many systems rely on outdated data, providing insufficient lead time.
•🔄Reactive, Not Predictive: Current solutions respond to floods after they occur rather than forecasting them
accurately in advance.
•🤖Limited Technology Integration: Underutilization of AI, IoT, and satellite data for real-time forecasting.
•🚑Inadequate Post-Flood Response: Lack of tools for efficient resource allocation and disaster management.
Idea:
An intelligent flood prediction and management system that uses real-time IoT data, satellite imagery, and AI to
provide early warnings, optimize resource allocation, and enable proactive disaster response.
