Flooding: rapid warning and safe evacuation
In the event of high water levels and the threat of a dyke breach, communication must be lightning-fast. CrisisRadar helps water authorities and local councils to warn residents in good time and provide clear evacuation instructions.
What happens
Extreme rainfall and high water levels are threatening to cause a dyke breach. The water board and the local council must, within a short space of time, warn thousands of residents and issue evacuation instructions via all available channels. Various target groups need information at the same time: affected residents, neighbouring areas, emergency services and the media. Every minute of delay counts. The message must be the same everywhere, whilst the water board and the local authority remain in control.
