The Vice President of India has recently launched the ‘Red Atlas Action Plan Map’ and Coastal Flood Warning System App (CFLOWS-Chennai) in Chennai.
Red Atlas is a first of its kind ready reckoner, prepared by the Ministry of Earth Sciences to aid Tamil Nadu government in effective flood mitigation in Chennai.
The atlas, with probable scenarios for different rainfall periods, aims at flood mitigation, preparedness, operations and management aspects.
The CFLOWS-Chennai is a complete web GIS-based decision support system that can be used both for mitigation planning operations before flooding and in real-time for aspects like relief work.
