Mapping flood areas
The speed and volume of information means that it can be difficult to proritise actions during a flood recovery. Approaches to visualising information can help flood managers make sense of this information. As much of this can be geolocated, mapping can be a powerful visualisation tool.
Matching needs to offers
Recent experiences show that people want to help, and clearly during the aftermath of a flooding event, people need help. There is often a problem with the matchmaking between needs and offers, especially in the early chaotic days of a flood event. Approaches to managing this which account for the constraints that may be prevalent (e.g. loss of power or communication) will be of great value.
