Chennai Becomes First City to Launch Real-Time Flood Forecasting System
In a step toward strengthening urban disaster management, Chennai became the first Indian city to fully implement a Real-Time Flood Forecasting and Spatial Decision Support System (RTFF & SDSS). Operational since October 2025, this system significantly enhances Chennai's capability to predict, manage, and respond to urban floods, marking a milestone in climate resilience infrastructure. This initiative is particularly significant as Chennai is frequently affected by seasonal monsoon flooding, and accurate forecasting can save lives, minimize damage, and support smarter urban planning.
