Hawaii Flood Alert Data Monitoring System

ADVM2 environmental consultants upgraded a flood alert monitoring system for the National Park Service (NPS) in Kipahulu, Hawaii.  The system consisted of stream level and precipitation monitors throughout the park.  Each station transmitted data instantaneously via radio to a central base station running the ADVM2 database software.  The system provides real-time alerts via email, SMS text messaging, and cellular voice calls.  The alert system indicates when stream levels reach critical levels and notifies a calling tree of NPS personnel to insure that park visitors do not get caught in flash floods.  Uptime of this system is obviously critical and the ADVM2 system has exceeded the performance standards.
