2019 Flood Midwest Damages: $6.2 billion.
Need for Real-Time Missouri Water Information System (MoWIS):
Plans:- Collaborate with Iowa Flood Center (IFC), USGS,
USACE to design and deploy Missouri Water Information System (MoWIS).o Leverage current flood inundation efforts by
USACE/USGS and work with IFC to develop a statewide forecast model, with MO data assimilation.
o Work with SRMT/SEMA and MDNR, Economic Development and other state, federal agencies to prioritize watersheds
o Work with local (academic and agency) partners to develop process-based hydrologic models for critical watersheds.
Plans:- Collaborate with Iowa Flood Center (IFC),
USGS, USACE to design and deploy Missouri Water Information System (MoWIS).o Work with local MO partners to implement
instrumentation and develop community-based flood inundation maps with stage elevation damage information
o Work with USGS / USACE-Silver Jackets / IFC / NWS to develop a real-time water information system for flood forecast and inundation mapping system for the mainstream Missouri River and incorporate into MoWIS.
o Relation to critical infrastructure resilience, logistics impacts, mitigation o Connect to water quality efforts at watershed and state levels.

Funding and Support • Seed funding to develop the team and generate the
proposals and seek the federal funding and build the partnerships into functional teams.
• HUD - CDBG Statewide Mapping Project (Coordinate with SRMT, SEMA)
• HUD - NDRC National Disaster Resilience Competition grants
• HUD - CDBG-MIT Mitigation program, Watershed –specific funding https://www.hudexchange.info/programs/cdbg-mit/
Funding and Support • State base-funding of the MoWIS, development of data
platform and advancements of sensors network, communications, outreach, development of the real time forecast model, community-based flood maps.
• Other federal funding, NOAA, NASA, USACE, NSF, USGS, DOE, etc for component specific tasks. Partly in-kind expertise for collaborative development and support
• SBIR funding and economic development with Missouri companies on sensor development and fundamental science advancement.

Current Missouri Inundation Maps & AHPS sites
Ongoing mapping:• Harrisonville
(proposed)• Grandview (WIP)• St. Peters (WIP)• O'Fallon (WIP)• Desoto (complete)
Integration of MoWIS with Regional and National Efforts
• FEMA Region 7 as a focus, with consistent platforms in Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, and Kansas
• Looking regional approach – build the approach to be used in other areas (multistate coordination to pursue federal support)
Coordinating across current efforts• Interagency Flood Risk Management (InFRM)Federal efforts to combine forecasting, hydrology, hydraulics and mapping (among other) are identified with InFRM. Additionally, USGS, USACE, and NWS have collaborated to kick start the iFIM project which collates all existing and continuous flood inundation mapping initiatives/efforts from these (3) agencies.
MoWIS will work within theiFIM efforts to contribute to and leverage state and national inundation mapping initiatives and efforts

• Grand, Chariton, Hinkson Creek and Goodwater Creek Watersheds
• HUC 12 spatial scale watershed models to inform conservation efforts needed to improve water quality in Missouri streams and lakes
• Currently, models have been developed for several watersheds
• Hourly simulations: water, sediments, and other chemical fluxes in streams
• Framework can be used for short-term hydrologic forecasting at finer spatial scales
Support of the Missouri Disaster Recovery Framework: Operational coordination among the State Disaster Recovery Coordinators and Recovery Support Function Leads
• Benefitting Recovery Support Strategies– Agriculture
• Disruption of crop production, health and well being.– Community Planning and Capacity Building
• Limited recovery management resources and pre-disaster resilience planning.– Economic
• Economic losses, disruption to business/revenue, lack of resilient infrastructure, workforce displacement
– Housing• Need for sustainable, resilient housing
– Infrastructure• Vulnerability of flood-protection, water-supply and wastewater facilities, power supply.
Need for broader river and watershed management.– Natural and Cultural Resources
• Lack of resiliency in floodplains, nutrient and contaminant runoff, erosion, and sediment migration. Damage to municipal parks/recreation impact on community and tourism
Disaster DeclarationsDR-4435DR-4451
MoWIS – Rapid Response to FEMA Declarations
• MoWIS will facilitate rapid and more accurate estimated claims from FEMA declaration.
• MoWIS will serve to generate estimated avoided losses from mitigation and resilience projects, watershed management, infrastructure improvements,
• MoWIS will help to generate estimates related to crop impacts, response and insurance claims.
