What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Peer-reviewed (Nature), operationally deployed at large scale with a public dataset and an emerging API; mature enough to integrate provided guardrails respect the documented flash-flood resolution, radar, and ground-truth limits.
Next
Join the Flood Hub API waitlist and prototype against the public reanalysis dataset; constrain usage to riverine forecasts at verified gauge points and label the flash-flood (Groundsource) layer as advisory-only / city-scale.
