Happy Pi Day-3/14! It's not something that most meteorologists think about on a daily basis, but did you know that PI is foundational to most meteorological models? That's because the Earth is a sphere, so weather systems follow its curvature as they travel across the surface. Remember Πr2? Perhaps you also remember that PI's decimal representation is infinite and non-repeating? For fun, we asked a few of our teammates to see how many decimal places they could name. See how well they did.

The Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District (NEORSD) is doing something innovative to plan, predict, and warn residents of impending #floods. They're combining data from radar and rain gauges to get a more accurate and more granular view into how precipitation varies across their coverage area. That technology is called #GARR or Gauge Adjusted Radar Rainfall. Check out the full story from Government Technology magazine.

Flooding is the most widespread natural hazard in the world. Currently, 1.8 billion people around the world are at risk of #flooding, and 98% of all U.S. counties have flooded in the past 28 years. Be prepared with our free guide to selecting the right #floodwarning system. https://lnkd.in/gqrnEyAG

#MultisourceHazardDetection ℹ️ When it comes to detecting natural hazards, it makes no difference how great or how reliable you think your data source might be... 🛰️ It doesn't matter if it's a camera, a satellite, a sensor, a person, or a weather station... 🧠 It might be powered by AI (or not)... 😥 Eventually, your data source is going to fail you. Not because it's bad, but because every data source is designed for a finite range of use cases. Eventually, you're going to run into a use case they didn't foresee. When that happens, one of two things will happen: ⏰ (1) You'll realize your data source has failed only after it's too late. OR 💪 (2) You'll have alternative data sources to corroborate your primary source and compensate for its limitations. Let's hope it's the second option! Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gNwqD5z5

Every dollar spent of #floodprotection can save $5-$8 in potential losses. But, there's also a lot that can go wrong, especially if your warning system isn't designed right. Our latest guide walks you through the essentials of developing an effective flood warning system, including the components you'll need and the main considerations you'll need to take into account. https://lnkd.in/gqrnEyAG

The Los Angeles #wildfires weren't just a fluke; they represent a larger set of trends that are exposing communities across the world to greater and greater risk. Our old wildfire playbooks are simply no longer equipped to deal with the growing risk; we need a new and improved playbook. Here are some thoughts from fire expert Keith Lombard on where we're falling short and the direction we need to go. https://hubs.li/Q034NhyP0
