Now Monitoring Australian Catchments

Real-Time Flood Monitoring for Australia

Protect communities with live river-level monitoring, rainfall tracking, and AI-powered flood forecasts. Purpose-built for Australian councils, emergency services, and residents.

24/7

Continuous monitoring

2,300+

Live gauges (reported in the last 7 days)

10–15 min

Updated as new Bureau observations arrive

Everything You Need for Flood Awareness

A comprehensive platform combining real-time data, intelligent forecasting, and actionable alerts.

Real-Time River Monitoring

Live gauge heights and rainfall from Australia's official hydrological networks, updated every 10–15 minutes as new Bureau observations arrive. Discharge is available as archived history, not a live feed.

Rainfall Tracking

Integrated rainfall observations from SILO and BoM rain gauges, with catchment-wide accumulation summaries.

AI-Powered Forecasts

Machine-learning models trained on historical flood data generate probabilistic forecasts out to 72 hours at gated stations. Beyond that we serve an extended outlook — guidance, not a skill-bearing forecast.

Instant Alerts

Configurable threshold alerts via email and phone push notifications when river levels approach the minor, moderate or major flood classifications published by the Bureau. Flood Sentinel alerts are our own decision-support signal, never an official Bureau warning.

Multi-Catchment Support

Monitor multiple river catchments from a single dashboard. Compare conditions across regions at a glance.

Historical Data Analysis

Explore decades of historical river levels and rainfall. Compare current events against past floods for context.

From Data to Decisions in Three Steps

Flood Sentinel continuously ingests official data sources and transforms them into clear, actionable intelligence.

1

Monitor

Real-time data from Australia's official gauge networks flows into Flood Sentinel every 10–15 minutes.

2

Forecast

AI models analyse current conditions against historical patterns to predict river behaviour up to 72 hours ahead at gated stations.

3

Alert

Receive instant notifications when thresholds are breached, so you can act before floodwaters arrive.

Build Any Catchment in Australia

Flood Sentinel serves 2,300+ live river and rain gauges (live = reported within the last 7 days), backed by a 20,900+ station national archive with records back to 1832. Draw any catchment you need and we monitor and forecast it. The two below are our free public demo.

Demo

Hawkesbury-Nepean River

Australia's most flood-affected catchment — Penrith Weir through Richmond and Windsor to the tidal limit. Explore it live, no account needed.

Forecast horizons: machine-learning flood forecasts run to 72 hours at gated stations, the same on every paid tier. Beyond 72 hours Flood Sentinel serves an extended outlook — climatology guidance, not a skill-bearing forecast — and paid tiers differ in how far that outlook extends (4 days on Pulse, 7 on Atlas and Custom). Every API row past 72 hours is labelled with its method.

Powered by Trusted Australian Data

We integrate authoritative data from Australia's official hydrological and meteorological agencies.

Bureau of Meteorology

Official weather observations and river height data from Australia's national weather agency. Bureau flood warnings remain the Bureau's to issue — we ingest observations, not warning authority.

Council IoT Networks

Local council-operated flood sensor networks providing high-resolution creek and urban stormwater monitoring where available.

SILO Climate Data

Gridded and station rainfall data from the Queensland Government's SILO database, covering all of Australia.

Ready to Monitor Your Catchment?

Join communities across Australia who rely on Flood Sentinel for early flood awareness and preparedness.

Flood Sentinel provides decision-support forecasts. It is not an official warning service — always follow Bureau of Meteorology flood warnings and your state emergency service (SES) directions.
