WHAT HAPPENED

Westport is deploying a real-time flood forecasting system intended to improve evacuation planning. The system is a preparedness measure for potential flooding rather than evidence of an active disaster.

SO WHAT?

Earlier warnings could reduce casualties and disruption during future floods, though the system reflects an ongoing local flood hazard.
