The AIT Regional Resource Centre for Asia and the Pacific (AIT RRC.AP) proposed to introduce a flood forecasting tool called ‘FloodS’, a tool developed by a Japanese private company ‘Hitachi’ under the support of the Ministry of Environment, Japan, in the region. The introduction of this tool is owing to the requirement of climate adaptation in the region to forecast the flood and their expected impact for appropriate adaptation strategies as a part of a larger climate adaptation plan in the region.
