This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the CFDA 47.084 Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program provides $1,244,153 to Hyfi LLC, a small disadvantaged minority-owned business, to develop a novel flood forecasting system. The project aims to enhance U.S. flood preparedness by delivering localized, 24-hour flood forecasts at the municipal infrastructure scale using real-time sensor data and advanced analytics. The research will focus on synthesizing an automated methodology to infer urban drainage connectivity, implementing a predictive flash flood forecasting model, and integrating these forecasts into a decision-support tool. The anticipated outcome is a self-learning flood prediction system that can be deployed in any municipality to improve flood response capabilities, reduce damage, and save lives in communities nationwide. This award reflects NSF's mission to advance science and engineering research and innovation to address national and societal challenges.
