When emergency events strike, it’s important to have the necessary data to protect lives and infrastructure.
In 2018, a team in the town of La Veta, Colorado, exemplified this after witnessing the third-largest wildfire in Colorado history. The fire increased the likelihood of water runoff into La Veta, which quickly prompted the town to collect data on when flood events were approaching to give citizens enough time to evacuate.
Read our latest case study to learn more about how this team developed a robust flood warning solution to protect their town, which includes:
- OTT and SUTRON sensors, dataloggers, and software solutions to measure precipitation, water level, and surface water velocity.
- A watershed data matrix to compile and analyze the data.
- A timelier evacuation alert system to warn citizens of approaching dangerous water levels.
