FloodNotifications

Flood Notifications

We intend to build a system which will allow users to sign up for notifications when a particular set of gages they're interested in has reach flood stage, and again when the waters have receded.

Requirements

• A user will be able to give an email address which will receive timely notifications of flood status changes.

Possible Requirements

• Other notification channels besides email
  • Text message?
  • Phone calls?

Explicit Non-Requirements

• We will not support sending notifications to non-registered users (i.e. you can't just give us an email address, you have to create an account with a password)

Open Questions

• How frequently will notifications go out?

Building Blocks

This will depend on implementing LoginAndSecurity. Also, future-flood notifications will depend on FloodForecasting.
