Eyes on the Surge: Harnessing AWARE Flood Sensors via NACo PPP–Safeware for Hurricane Readiness

Wednesday, June 18, 2025 | 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. ET

Discover how counties can deploy the AWARE Flood System—rugged, solar-powered IoT sensors available through the competitively bid NACo Public Promise Procurement Safeware contract—to turn rising water into actionable intelligence. We’ll show how each lightweight node tracks depth, temperature and barometric pressure, pushes real-time alerts over cellular or Iridium satellite link, and keeps reporting for seven days even without sunlight. Learn the simple “piggy-back” procurement steps inside Public Promise Procurement (PPP), funding streams that pair with FEMA categories and see a live dashboard demo that lets EOCs map flood conditions before, during and after landfall.

Key takeaways:

  • FEMA-compliant flood tracking to support mitigation and response
  • Live demo of EOC-ready dashboards
  • Step-by-step guide to streamlined procurement through PPP
  • Insight into funding options aligned with FEMA categories
