SORAFloodSight
For national disaster-management agencies

See the flood before it arrives.

FloodSight simulates rainfall-driven inundation across at-risk regions — mapping depth, extent, and exposure to hospitals and communities in minutes, not days.

How it works

From rainfall to response in four steps

No GIS expertise required. Regions come pre-loaded with terrain, drainage and critical-facility data.

01

Select your region

Choose a modeled catchment. Terrain, drainage and facility data are already loaded.

02

Define the storm

Set precipitation, duration and soil curve number for the scenario you must plan for.

03

Run the simulation

The hydrological engine computes inundation depth and extent across the landscape.

04

Act on the results

Read depth maps and facility exposure, then export for briefings and coordination.

Capabilities

A full flood-risk workflow, in one place

Physically-grounded hydrology, decision-ready outputs, and the exports your teams already work with.

Hydrological simulation

SCS curve-number runoff routed over a real DEM — not a static hazard layer.

Depth & extent mapping

A four-class depth scale from nuisance to extreme, at sub-meter vertical resolution.

Critical-facility exposure

Hospitals and key assets scored by flood risk, so you know what's in harm's way.

Scenario comparison

Place two completed runs side by side to see how extent and depth shift.

Terrain & DEM analysis

Inspect elevation, drainage and catchment structure behind every result.

Standards-ready exports

PNG, georeferenced GeoTIFF and a formatted PDF report for every simulation.

Built for agencies

Where FloodSight makes the difference

Whether you are writing a preparedness plan, standing up an early-warning desk, or protecting critical infrastructure, FloodSight turns scenarios into evidence.

Preparedness & planning

Stress-test design storms and contingency plans against physically-modeled inundation.

Early warning & response

Pre-compute scenarios so response desks can act the moment a storm is forecast.

Infrastructure & health resilience

Identify exposed hospitals, roads and communities before the water reaches them.

Coverage

Live regions, expanding fast

Each region ships with a validated DEM, drainage network and critical-facility layer. Need a region that isn't listed? It can be onboarded.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Nothing to start. Each supported region ships pre-loaded with a validated digital elevation model, drainage network and critical-facility layer. If you need a catchment that isn't live yet, our team onboards it for you.
