Flood Intelligence Briefs
Flood Intelligence Briefs represent AlphaTex's innovative approach to transforming intricate flood models produced by state agencies into user-friendly, actionable plans designed for various stakeholders. These models include comprehensive studies such as the Texas General Land Office (GLO) River Basin Flood Studies, which analyze flood risks in specific river basins; the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) Regional Flood Planning outputs; and detailed inundation maps created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). By distilling these complex data sets into straightforward briefs, AlphaTex aims to equip decision-makers, community leaders, and emergency response teams with the necessary insights to effectively prepare for and mitigate flood risks in their respective areas. Each brief is tailored to address the unique concerns and responsibilities of stakeholders, ensuring that the information is not only accessible but also actionable in real-world scenarios.
Why They Exist
-
Government agencies produce high-quality flood data, but it’s packaged for engineers, not the people who need to act on it.
-
Local leaders, emergency managers, infrastructure planners, and residents rarely have the time or expertise to decode 100-page technical reports.
-
By the time the data gets filtered through multiple agencies, opportunities for funding, mitigation, and preparedness may already have passed.
