What time is it? It’s Hurricane season in the states and evacuations and flood warnings are already underway.

A lot of the east coast, especially the southern part, in the USA has been evacuated as Hurricane Florence is about to land. It’s a category 4 hurricane according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC) with wind gusts of 130 mph and getting stronger.

It’s a big one, perhaps the size of the entire state of North Carolina. According to the New York Times, the interstate freeways and roads are being reversed for one-way traffic only in the direction that people get out of the dangerous areas.

Over a million folks have already been evacuated with their families.

What comes along with hurricanes?

Flooding.

Lots of water and huge increases in water levels.

How do you, your family, organizations and government agencies know what’s going on with water levels?

Early warning systems monitor water levels using Industrial IoT sensors. Flood warnings alert communities ahead of time that catastrophes and dangers are impending.

Imagine the world before we had the technology to predict and see what’s coming? Luckily, today’s technologies help keep you, your family, and your community safer.

Smart Cities on the east coast like Virginia are ready and have already deployed flood monitoring systems.
