Welcome To The Redondo Beach, WA Flood Risk Alert Site
A Neighborhood Effort to Track Tides and Weather for Flood Risks
About Our Project
Hey neighbors! Exciting news from Redondo Beach, WA! I’m happy to introduce our community-powered project, currently in beta testing, to anticipate potential flooding. Using a blend of weather observations, tide data, and some AI analysis, we’ve developed a system to assess flood risks. This project, inspired by the significant tide in December 2022, categorizes risk levels from 1 (pretty chill) to 7 (time for sandbags). For context, the December 2022 flooding was a Category 5.
How This Works
During the King Tide season, our hobbyist app, in its beta phase, operates twice daily. It’s a fusion of a local weather station and tide predictor, offering a glimpse into the upcoming days’ flood potential. While it’s not a professional forecast, it serves as a proactive tool for our community.
Preview Phase
We’re excited to introduce the Preview Phase of our flood alert system. After several months of improvements, we now have higher confidence in our flood forecasts, thanks to the integration of more historical data and an enhanced understanding of weather patterns. While the system is still evolving, the Preview Phase represents a step forward in accuracy and reliability. We’re continuing to fine-tune the technology and appreciate your patience as we work to provide the best possible service.
