Dr Nick Z. Fang. Dr Nick Z. Fang. Obtained his Ph.D. degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering. Dr Fang has enhanced a radar-based flood warning system to achieve more accurate and timely flood forecasts. He recently developed advanced features for a real-time flood alert system for the Texas Medical Center (TMC) based on the use of NEXRAD radar data. This system is currently delivered real-time on a web site ( fas3.flood-alert.org. Center at Rice University. Read More.

Flood Alert System 3

http://bedient.rice.edu/fas3.html

LESSONS FROM HURRICANE Ike. FLOOD ALERT SYSTEM 3. Flood Alert System 3. Designed by Houston flood expert, Dr. Philip Bedient at Rice University from 1997 to 2015, with assistance from Dr. Nick Fang and Dr. Baxter Vieux, the Flood Alert System (FAS3) is an integrated system that predicts inundation levels caused by heavy rainfall events in order to provide lead-time for flood-response decisions. What’s Different about FAS3? Provides on average 2 to 3 hours lead-time predictions of maximum flood conditions.
