Spencer, Iowa (RI) — A research project being planned by the Iowa Flood Center could lead to earlier and more accurate flood predictions.
Spencer City Manager Kevin Robinson says Spencer has been invited to participate, and Rutgers University and NASA would also be involved.
That’s right in NASA’s wheelhouse.
Robinson says the Iowa Flood Center researchers believe that could give communities an extra 24 to 36 hours of advance warning of potential flooding.
Robinson says new flood sensors are being installed on northwest Iowa rivers with funding from a Community Development Block Grant.
