As reports come in on the devastating floods in Kerr County Texas, it's clear that for many people there was insufficient warning.
For flash flood events we know that warnings based on forecasts - not just direct measurement - are crucial. In this case the water levels rose around 6m in 2 hours.

🌊Looking forward to attending EGU next week along with several colleagues and presenting recent research on flood early warning ⚠️#EGU @egu.eu #FEWS
Meet us at the @egu.eu next week and find out about our latest research on flood risk management, mental health impacts of floods, building damage and flood adaptation.
We are happy to chat with you at one of our posters or PICOs or after our talks.
