Description

As part of a provincial flood damage assessment study, the City of Calgary was identified as a high priority centre and selected as the pilot municipality for the updating of flood damage curves and development of a Rapid Flood Damage Assessment Model. The primary purpose of this study is to estimate flood damages for a range of flood events such that average annual damages can be computed and employed in a subsequent benefit/cost analysis of potential flood mitigation alternatives.

Description

The purpose of this project was to develop an understanding of the uncertainties in weather forecasting and propose a method of how the River Forecast Centre can manage those uncertainties when modeling rainfall scenarios and issuing flood advisories. Accurate flood forecasting requires accurate forecasts of rainfall amount, location, timing, and intensity. This project was designed to assess how well these rainfall forecast requirements are currently being met by the current suite of popular numerical weather prediction models, for extreme events in Alberta, and specifically for severe flood situations.
