Abstract:

A critical issue facing state departments of transportation (DOTs) across the United States is to efficiently and precisely predict and respond to flooding. National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 573: Practices for Integrated Flood Prediction and Response Systems focuses on identifying successfully implemented strategies and practices in managing critical flooding cases through a literature review, a nationwide survey sent to state DOTs, and in-depth interviews. The survey covered five topic areas: current status of flood event management, flood monitoring, flood prediction, flood warning systems, and flood response systems. This article presents key findings in each of the five survey topic areas and summarizes lessons learned from interviews with seven States: Idaho, Iowa, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Washington.
