The National Flood Warning Infrastructure Program (NFWIP)

The National Flood Warning Infrastructure Program (NFWIP) is an initiative aimed at improving the ability to predict and monitor floods in the United States. It focuses on developing and enhancing systems that provide timely and accurate information about flood risks. This includes installing advanced technology, like sensors and real-time data collection tools, to help emergency services and communities prepare for potential flooding. By increasing awareness and preparedness, the program aims to minimize the impact of floods on people and property, ultimately enhancing public safety and resilience against natural disasters.
