This National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project grant of $274,391 will fund the development of city-scale flood mapping using real-time sensor data. Awarded on September 15, 2022 with a completion date of August 31, 2023, this funding supports research under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084).

Specifically, the awardee Hyfi LLC will advance new knowledge on the use of advanced analytics to estimate floods at urban scales through a combination of existing sensors and new methodologies. Using spatially distributed sensor data and data-driven techniques, the company will create real-time flood maps at the individual building level without requiring a sensor at every location. The results are intended to transform flood response for first responders and support long-term infrastructure planning by stormwater managers.
