IOWA FLOOD CENTER

Providing reliable tools and science-based information to help Iowans understand
and reduce their flood risks.

What We Do Iowa Flood Information System Contact Us


SERVING IOWANS

The Iowa Flood Center (IFC) puts science-based information and technology in the
hands of Iowa's decision-makers, emergency responders, community leaders, home
and business owners, educators, and the public. IFC researchers, staff, and
students strive to develop the most innovative tools and reliable information to
improve Iowa's flood preparedness and resiliency. 


RESOURCES FOR IOWANS


FLOOD MONITORING

Nearly 300 stream-stage sensors designed, built, and deployed by IFC measure
river levels every 15 minutes, improving flood monitoring and forecasting.
Hydrologic weather stations improve flood- and drought- prediction capabilities.

Flood monitoring


FLOOD MAPPING

High-resolution statewide flood maps for every Iowa stream, along with
scenario-based flood inundation maps, keep individuals and communities safe and
informed—protecting lives, property, and critical infrastructure. 

Flood Mapping


FLOOD MITIGATION

IFC staff and researchers provide leadership and technical expertise that
supports collaborations with local, state, and federal partners to develop and
implement watershed-based strategies to mitigate flood damage and increase
resilience. 

Flood Mitigation


EDUCATION AND OUTREACH

The IFC participates in dozens of outreach activities each year and is dedicated
to ensuring its resources are easily accessible and tailored for diverse
audiences. IFC support for undergrad and grad students is developing Iowa's
future workforce. 

Education and Outreach


IOWA FLOOD INFORMATION SYSTEM

IFIS is a free, Google Maps-based web platform that communicates real-time
information about stream levels, flood alerts and forecasts, and hydrologic
conditions for the entire state of Iowa.
