About The Project
The Kinshasa Flood Watch is an initiative designed to provide a comprehensive and timely flood early warning system for the citizens of Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo.
Leveraging state-of-the-art meteorological data, river discharge forecasts, and AI-powered analytics, this dashboard aims to empower decision-makers, emergency responders, and the general public with actionable insights to mitigate the risks associated with flooding.
Our mission is to reduce the impact of floods on lives and livelihoods by providing accurate, accessible, and timely warnings, enabling communities to prepare and respond effectively.
As the Center for Urban Systems (CUS) at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P), we are proud to lead this initiative in close collaboration with our esteemed partners at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). This project leverages our combined expertise in urban systems, hydrology, and data science to build a robust and effective early warning system.
