Water, water, everywhere, what should you do? Depend on the National Weather Service. A wealth of information is available to emergency managers via the NWS web site. This presentation will focus on what is available to emergency managers and other key decision makers during significant flood events, as well as other scenarios. Nancy will focus on some of our local challenges, including hydrology in highly urbanized areas. Bill will add the perspective from our regional center of hydrologic expertise.
