Abstract:
The North Carolina Division of Emergency Management and the National Weather Service are developing the Integrated Flood Observing and Warning System (IFLOWS), which will give residents of seventeen mountain counties one-half to three hours warning of flash-flood conditions. The system is designed to predict flash flooding in areas characterized by steep slopes and narrow valleys where flash flooding is likely to occur.
