Project Groundwater - Flood Alerts Front End

Tender description

Development of the front-end web application dashboard of the groundwater flood warning service over a 12-month period. Expected features of the application include but not necessarily restricted to: • a visual map-based web page or pages that display the flood risk at locations within the monitoring area • a public alert system using SMS and/or email This is anticipated to be followed by two years of maintenance and improvement. We expect this to be 1 year of tweaks following user feedback and a further year of technical maintenance. 2.1. Outcomes The integrated groundwater warning service will combine information from existing (e.g. EA and Met Office warnings) and new channels (e.g. groundwater levels linked to hazard maps and community actions). The service will be driven by forecasts of groundwater level provided by BGS within the bespoke web application and it will inform community warnings issued through the web application, community communication methods and, potentially in the future, through the EA's Flood Warning Service infrastructure.
