For Infrastructure Owners & Utilities

Your Network Has
Cascading Flood Risk.

Infrastructure failures don't stop at the first flooded asset. We model the cascade — how one impaired node disables the next across your entire network.

The Cascade Problem

First-order exposure
is only the beginning.

Interdependencies between infrastructure nodes amplify impairment across interconnected systems — from inland drainage networks to port terminals — cascading failure that point-in-time models fundamentally miss.

Interdependencies between infrastructure nodes amplify impairment across interconnected systems — cascading failure that point-in-time models fundamentally miss.

We model the cascade. Our infrastructure abstraction layer maps network topology and propagates impairment beyond first-order exposure — identifying secondary and tertiary failures before they occur.

SECONDARY IMPAIRMENT PROPAGATION
Capabilities

From single asset to
full network resilience.

Network Interdependency Modeling
Map how flood impairment at one node propagates through dependent infrastructure — roads, power, water, communications — to surface systemic risk.
Network Risk
Critical Asset Vulnerability Assessment
Identify which substations, pump stations, treatment plants, and transmission corridors face highest flood-impairment probability across all four mechanisms.
Asset Priority
Pre-Event Emergency Protocol Design
Simulation-backed protocols that specify exactly which assets require pre-positioning, access route alternatives, and sequenced response priorities.
Emergency Ops
Capital Investment Prioritization
Which upgrade delivers the highest network resilience per dollar? Physics-based simulation identifies optimal investment sequencing for flood-hardening programs.
CapEx Planning
Regulatory Reporting Support
Physics-derived exposure data that meets utility regulatory documentation requirements — not probability scores, but defensible modeled parameters.

Pilot Case Study
PILOT 04 — NEORSD, NORTHEAST OHIO
1st
Pre-event emergency protocols designed from Flood Dynamics simulation outputs were deployed in a real storm event — the first time simulation-derived protocols were used operationally by NEORSD.
Stormwater risk · Emergency strategy · Infrastructure investment

"The simulation gave us a clear picture of cascading failure sequences we hadn't modeled. Pre-event protocols we designed from those outputs were used in the next storm event."

SENIOR INFRASTRUCTURE ENGINEER — NEORSD

NEORSD manages one of Northeast Ohio's largest stormwater and drainage networks. Flood Dynamics' cascade simulation identified critical sequence failures that standard drainage analysis missed — directly informing their emergency protocols and infrastructure investment strategy.

cascade risk begins.

We'll run a cascade simulation on your network topology and show you exactly which assets are your highest-impact flood vulnerabilities.
