Flood API, also known as Flood Information and Warning System API, is a powerful tool that provides developers with access to real-time and historical flood-related data. This API allows developers to integrate flood information into their applications, websites, or systems, enabling them to provide timely and accurate flood warnings, alerts, and other related information to their users.
The highest flood level can be measured using various methods, including gauges, markers, and historical records of water levels.
Analyzing flood data can help identify vulnerable areas, enabling proactive measures like improved infrastructure, floodplain zoning, and early warning systems to prevent floods.
Flooding can have a significant impact on businesses, causing damage to infrastructure, disrupting operations, and leading to financial losses. It can result in property damage, inventory loss, and supply chain disruptions. Recovery costs, insurance premiums, and the need for future flood mitigation measures further impact businesses.
Ambee utilizes a multi-modal approach to collecting data. Our data sources include proprietary on-ground sensors, satellite imagery, and other open sources like government data portals. This combination of data is then run through AL algorithms and ML techniques to ensure maximum accuracy, reliability, and no gaps.
