Flood Risk Canada, Inc. (FRC) has announced that it will be launching a new flood risk monitoring and prevention tool called “flood sensory system.”

Deployed in floodways, the system monitors and alerts on the current water level activity, wind speed and velocity action in a specific location, Oakville, Ontario-based FRC explained in a press release issued Wednesday.

In particular, the system monitors streams and rivers, measuring wave action, tides, currents, stream levels, streamflow data, groundwater levels, the amount of rainfall, dam failure and wind speed. It allows property owners to access the data online from any location and monitor it live, setting alerts for when the flood barrier deployment is needed, FRC said.
