Total Flood Warning Systems (TFWS) are comprehensive, integrated frameworks that convert hydrological data into timely and effective warnings, empowering actionable decisions for flood preparedness, response, and recovery. These systems span the entire flood event lifecycle from detecting environmental triggers, forecasting flood levels to assessing potential impacts, and guiding coordinated community responses. While grounded in Australian design principles, TFWS underlying concepts and applications hold global relevance.
Led by experienced professionals in disaster and flood risk management, this course offers a systems-based understanding of flood forecasting and emergency response. It is designed to engage both technical and non-technical participants, providing insights into flood gauge networks, forecasting technologies, and intelligence platforms. The course also examines how complex technical data is translated into meaningful public communication and operational strategies.
