A Flood Engineer is NOT a Flood Forecaster

Total Flood Warning Systems Approach

A Total Flood Warning Systems Approach is becoming more important than ever.

Structural flood mitigation solutions are often seen as a silver bullet. But as this infrastructure continues to fail internationally, communities become complacent behind this infrastructure, we continue to build into floodplains and climate change increases the severity of flood events……..a TFWSA approach is crucial.

Synergy has produced many articles and presentations on topics such as this (as well as training), however we thought it was time to provide an overview of the services we also provide in this space.
