Many cities and municipalities are actively addressing heavy rainfall preparedness by having heavy rainfall hazard maps and action plans developed. As an essential next step, a municipal forecasting and early warning system for heavy rain and flooding is requested to be able to react at short notice and in a targeted manner by means of warning, evacuation, setting up mobile protection elements, etc. The htw saar and Hydrotec are developing a heavy rainfall warning system for municipalities that combines measurement and forecast data with hydronumerical modelling.
