IDAWRA Brownbag: Boise River Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service (AHPS) and Inundation Mapping
The National Weather Service and Corps of Engineers (with support from numerous Federal, State, and local partners) has developed the first AHPS in the West for the lower Boise River Basin. The AHPS provides flood forecasts, including online maps depicting inundation levels at 15 different flows. It greatly improves the understanding of flood risk for communities along the Boise River and has already led to discussions of the implications for property owners, emergency response, and local government.
The purpose of this brown bag is to learn more about the scientific basis of the mapping, including the models and data on which they are based.
Speakers: Brandon Hobbs, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; Jay Breidenbach, National Weather Service
Date and time: Thursday, September 6, 11:30 – 1:00 pm (talk will start at 11:45)
Location: Washington Group Plaza Executive Dining Room – 720 Park Blvd, Boise, ID 83712
Cost: Free
Lunch available in the Washington Group cafeteria, next to the Executive Dining Room
IDAWRA thanks the Corps of Engineers and National Weather Service for providing the venue and the speakers.
