<br />Preface <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Local flood warning systems have become an increasingly important means to <br /> <br />mitigate losses from floods. In October 1982 the Hydrology Subcommittee of <br />the Interagency Advisory Committee on Water Data decided that there was an <br /> <br />urgent need for a document describing the basic principles of local flood <br /> <br />warning systems. An interagency work group was established in November 1982 <br /> <br />to prepare a report that would describe (1) under what conditions a local <br /> <br />flood warning system would be effective; (2) the various types of systems that <br />can be used to identify flood problems and issue warnings; (3) the basic <br />elements of a community response system; and (4) sources of assistance from <br /> <br />Federal, State, and local agencies in evaluating and establishing a local <br /> <br /> <br />flood warning system. The work group was composed of representatives of the <br /> <br /> <br />Army Corps of Engineers, the Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation <br /> <br /> <br />Service, the Bureau of Reclamation, the United States Geological Survey, the <br /> <br />Department of Commerce, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, <br /> <br />the National Weather Service, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the Federal <br /> <br />Emergency Management Agency, and the National Park Service. Invaluable <br /> <br />assistance was provided to the work group by flood plain managers from the <br /> <br />States of Maryland and Pennsylvania, representing the Association of State <br /> <br />Flood Plain Managers. <br /> <br />I"" I <br /> <br />It is the Hydrology Subcommittee's hope that this report will provide Federal, <br />State, and especially county and local government officials with a basic <br /> <br />understanding of local flood warning systems and the kind of help that is <br /> <br />available. <br /> <br />ili <br />
