SURGEWATCH
Live Site Intelligence
An engineering project by Nicholas Cornell

Know before
the water surges.

SurgeWatch monitors live weather, river levels, elevation, FEMA flood data, and site conditions for any address — then turns them into a clear flood-risk score.

What SurgeWatch will do

Address-Based Risk

Enter a home address and see location-specific flood exposure based on elevation, nearby waterways, alerts, and live conditions.

Weighted Flood Risk Score

A risk engine combines rainfall, NWS alerts, FEMA data, gauge conditions, elevation, drainage, and tide influence into one transparent score.

Engineering Site Profile™

Future layers can add soil readiness, slope, geology, drainage, and foundation context for deeper site intelligence.

Early prototype in development.

SurgeWatch.live is being built as a civic engineering project focused on real-time flood awareness, site intelligence, infrastructure monitoring, and early-warning notifications.
