Abstract
Floods can be predicted with some notice and theirdeath toll is reduced compared to other disasters (i.e.,earthquakes or cyclones). Nevertheless, their negative aftermath(e.g., transport limitations, agricultural damage, water pollution,disease spreading, and effects on the people’s mental health) areinescapable. This paper explored the potential of meteorologicalobservations and enhanced data manipulation to supportwarning systems based on a database approach. We also focusedon the development of a visualization platform to support timeseries data properties. The investigation emphasized thatdatabase-oriented work is adequate for relational spatial datastorage and active operational mechanisms.
