Norfolk, VA collaborates with StormSensor on study of sea level impacts on drainage infrastructure

Norfolk, VA StormSensor Sea Level Drainage Infrastructure

In Progress

StormSensor installed its Scute sensor networks in neighborhoods with high flood risks. Data gathered from waterways and pipes are sent every five minutes to the Terrapin data dashboard. The platform's SURFR Index synthesizes real-time data with known risk factors for an estimate of future flood risks by census tract. City staffers anticipate future floods with critical depth alerts from Terrapin. Pilot data will also be incorporated into Norfolk's flood management policies.
