The Midland County, Michigan was awarded $800,000 under the Congressionally Identified Awards and Projects program (CFDA 11.469) by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the Department of Commerce. The funding will support the installation of 10 additional weather stations in the Tittabawassee River watershed to improve rainfall and flood monitoring capabilities. Specifically, the award will facilitate the placement of rain and river gages across the watershed to collect critical data for NOAA's flood forecasting and real-time flood notifications. By ground-truthing actual rainfall amounts and providing automated hourly reporting, the additional weather stations are intended to enhance NOAA's ability to measure rainfall in the region and prepare for potential flooding events. The period of performance for this project grant is from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2027.
