How to Set Up a Flood Monitoring Program

Thursday, February 26 - 1:00 PM PST
Educational talk + panel discussion

What works, what doesn’t, and lessons learned from recent atmospheric river events.

Many of the challenges described in our recent blog - thresholds that don’t quite fit, alerts that require interpretation, and decisions made under time pressure - come down to how flood monitoring programs are designed and operated in practice.

To dig deeper into what actually works, we’re hosting an upcoming educational panel-style webinar focused on the realities of setting up and running an effective flood monitoring program.

What we’ll cover

- Why flood monitoring is harder than it looks in practice

- Program setup principles that scale from simple to sophisticated

- Threshold selection realities—and why “standard” return periods are only a starting point

- Common failure modes, from false confidence to alert fatigue

- First-hand field perspectives from the middle of recent atmospheric river events

• Panel (field, operations, and community perspectives):

This session is designed for engineers, operators, and decision-makers who want to move beyond theory and understand how flood monitoring supports risk management during extreme events.
