YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In 2018 we began our flood forecasting initiative to help combat the catastrophic damage from floods each year by equipping those in harm’s way with accurate and detailed alerts. In the first three years, we expanded our program to cover much of India and Bangladesh, covering an area with about 220 million people and sending out 40 million potentially life-saving alerts. And in 2021, our operational systems were further expanded to cover an area with over 360 million people and we sent out over 115 million alerts — that’s triple the amount we sent at launch.
