[ Additional information required]
The Flash Flood Prediction Tool for Bangladesh provides 54-hour flash flood forecasts for 10,049 river segments in Bangladesh. The tool provides predicted estimates for flash floods from localized extreme weather phenomena like convective storms and thunderstorms. It uses the precipitation forecast from the High-Impact Weather Assessment Toolkit (HIWAT) as inputs into the Routing Application for Parallel computation of Discharge (RAPID) hydrological model to estimate streamflow in the river network. It complements information generated by the Streamflow Prediction Tool for Bangladesh and can be used as part of a decision support system for flood forecasting services. It can assist decision makers and managers in providing flood early warnings and response decisions during extreme events in small river catchments.
