Real-Time Flood Forecasting Resiliency Model Upper St. Johns River Basin (USJRB) And Middle St. Jo

The project aims to significantly improve flood forecasting and resilience within the 2,900-square mile Upper and Middle St. Johns River Basins in Florida. Building on an existing operational FloodWise model for the Upper St. Johns River Basin, the initiative will expand this model to cover the entire region, enabling real-time flood predictions up to 10 days in advance. These forecasts will be accessible through a web portal and via text messages, providing critical information to local and regional authorities to support emergency response efforts. Additionally, the enhanced model will facilitate detailed assessments of flood risks, helping identify vulnerable infrastructure and communities, thereby strengthening regional flood management strategies. The contract, issued by the St. Johns River Water Management District under solicitation number RFSQ-09093, was posted on May 15, 2024, with a response deadline of July 1, 2024. It is valued between $500,000 and $2,000,000 and is categorized under NAICS code 541330. The project is managed by LaDonna Johnson, who can be contacted via email or phone for further details. The contract aims to develop a comprehensive, real-time flood forecasting resiliency model to enhance flood preparedness and mitigation across the region.
