Researchers from the University of Texas partnered with other researchers, federal agencies, and first responders to create the National Flood Interoperability Experiment (NFIE). They used Microsoft Azure to build a new national flood data-modeling and mapping system with the potential to provide life- and cost-saving information to the public. The goals of the NFIE include standardizing data, demonstrating a scalable solution, and helping to close the gap between national flood forecasting and local emergency response.

Dang, that firefighter had sweet tattoos.

This is awesome, flooding is such an unsexy topic, but it's amazing to see great minds, new technology, and appropriate resources being turned toward huge, even daunting problems.
