your National Weather Service (nws) invites your participation in
the annual National flood safety awareness week, March 15-19, 2010.
Todays theme is the advanced hydrologic prediction service or ahps.
Ahps provides water prediction and delivery methods to serve your
needs and the needs of all our partners in protecting life and
property from flood and other water hazards. Ahps provides you with
earlier and better flood warnings... helps emergency managers to be
better prepared to defend their communities from floods... and helps
recreational water users stay out of harms way. Ahps enables you to
get reliable answers to such questions as:

- how high will the river rise?
- When will the river crest?
- Where will it flood?
- How long will the flood last?
- How certain is the forecast?
