2010 Licking County Flood Warning System
General
Problem Description
MWCD has partnered with numerous agencies and communities as a cost share sponsor for the purpose of implementing an early flood warning system. This system will enhance the ability of the National Weather Service to develop flood forecasts and implement an advanced flood warning system in Licking County for the Village of Granville, City of Newark, City of Heath, Village of Hebron and the Village of Buckeye Lake.
Solution Description
This project enables the public and emergency managers to visualize the areal extent of current and forecasted flood conditions. The additional stream flow data and the ability for emergency management officials to receive real-time flood conditions will contribute to Licking County's efforts to assess flood conditions and take appropriate steps to protect life and property.
