Predict Observer: Intelligent climate risk management

Predict Service’s core business is to provide users in areas threatened by climate risks with integrated, personalized assistance in managing these phenomena (floods, storms, marine submersions, heatwaves, etc.). To achieve this, Predict Service has collaborated with IGO to develop solutions that combine preventive action and climate risk analysis tools. This makes it easier to anticipate and manage risks on a fine scale, and to set up warning and decision-support systems.

The aim was to develop a powerful tool to help Predict Service make decisions before, during and after a crisis. This tool can handle a wide variety of data at different scales. It can be used for general monitoring, displaying precipitation at national level. In the event of a crisis, it is possible to zoom down to ground level to visualize the issues at stake and the resources available to manage the situation. 3D visualization is an essential asset, providing a better understanding of the terrain and enabling the most at-risk areas to be anticipated. What’s more, much of the data is updated in real time.

Real-time data operation.

Robustness: the system must be operational 24/7.

Data size :

• • France: Rainfall data with a resolution of one point per km², updated every 5 minutes.
  • World: Rainfall data with a resolution of one point every 25 km², updated every 30 minutes.

Data accuracy :

• • The data must include precise information on the ZMI (Zone de Mise en Œuvre), PCS (Plan Communal de Sauvegarde), and buildings (“shoebox” representation).
  • This data must be available worldwide.

Real-time analysis of all stations in France.

Points display :

• • Ability to display between 0 and 150,000 points on the globe.
