Hey FTB users! Just a friendly reminder that the Flood Threat Bulletin will be returning on Friday, May 1st. We have a couple new features this year that we are excited to share with you! The first is an interactive burn area map on the About the FTB page. This will allow you to find basic information about the past fires that we feature on our maps (name, year, acres burned). For 2020, we will be issuing specific burn area threats (when necessary) for the following burn areas: 416, Decker, Lake Christine and Spring Creek.
Next, you may have already noticed a new page at the top of the site. The Report a Flood form will let you tell us about flooding happening in your area. We’re hoping to feature these reports in our daily State Precipitation Map posts. Be sure to pass this on to your friends and colleagues that also like to track weather!
Lastly, we’re excited to have a more interactive Flood Threat Bulletin map. When hovering over a threat area, more details about rain rates and potential flooding hazards will pop up. Additionally, we are adding a new threat level to the map that will be specifically for NWS Flood Warnings (riverine) that are active at the time of the FTB post.
Looking forward to serving you for another flood season! To sign up and receive a daily notification of the flood threat to your inbox, please navigate to the Subscribe option above (or click here). You can also follow us on Twitter and Facebook for the latest flood updates.
