Accurate Flood Forecasts

With the exception of starvation, more people die from flooding than any other single cause. Extensive data is required to ensure weather forecasts have high levels of accuracy. When data spanning over decades is provided, scientists can identify calamity-prone areas and develop appropriate warning systems, helping residents to adapt and foresee changing flood patterns. Those living in the U.S. benefit from accurate data and analysis.

Developing countries would similarly benefit if forecasts were highly accurate and, more importantly, if advanced warnings of weather and flooding were possible.
