99 The responses provided by 48 DOTs give valuable insight into state practices related to the flood prediction and response systems. The case example interviews conducted with seven state DOTs provide more details on the concerns and effective practices for addressing the flood monitoring, prediction, warning, and response systems.

100 Practices for Integrated Flood Prediction and Response Systems • DOT survey results showed that for flood prediction methods, a hydrologic/hydraulic model was identified as the most common type of flood prediction model used by DOTs. For the platform/model of the flood prediction model, most DOTs reported that the flood prediction model is produced by a federal agency (e.g., USGS, FEMA, NOAA, NWS, USACE, Bureau of Reclamation)

Conclusions and Knowledge Gaps 101 determine an optimal warning-level setting for a range of scenarios to minimize false alarms, because the degree of false alarms varies according to local hydrology and hydraulics. • Urbanization and land development result in more frequently observed intense runoff events.
