Debris Flow Hazard Warning System
Debris Flow Hazard Warning System (Patent Pending)

Kerr Wood Leidal (KWL) developed a debris flow hazard warning algorithm based on rainfall and hydrometric records for the North Shore of Vancouver, British Columbia.

The system uses real-time data from rainfall stations to calculate a predictive index to warn authorities of when landslides and debris flows are likely to occur. This index is available to authorized personnel through KWL Emerald.

KWL can provide similar services for other jurisdictions. Please contact us for more information.
