Web GIS Flood Information System

In many big cities around the world, urban flooding becomes their newenemy. Urbanization process encroach floodplains, obstructing flood waysand causing loss of natural flood storage. Not only that the increasingimpervious areas such as roads, roofs and paving, due to increasingdevelopment densities lead to more run-off on the surface. Recently, indevelops countries, even though they have a system to predict or forecasturban flood, this information cannot be spread to the public in time. Thispresent study aim to develop integrated WebGIS Flood Information System,which may provide more understandable and advance information offlooding to the public so that necessary action can be taken to reduce loosescause by urban flooding. This study demonstrates the capabilities of aninternet application to help people dealing with flood. This kind of system isan efficient way of disseminating encapsulated knowledge in the form ofinformation to public using low cost and well-known medium. This systemincludes hardware, software, people, policies, and procedures necessary toidentify a threat and act before a flood occurs
