Flood Detection System consists of the following components:
- ALERT System (real time weather telemetry)
- Base Stations
- Radio Repeaters
- Field Stations
- Supporting Systems
- Weather Forecasting
- EMWIN System
- Local NOAA Weather Radio
- Internet Weather
- Weather Imaging

ALERT and Weather Imaging graphics are displayed on large 31 inch color monitors
located in the Storm Operations Center at Glassell Street Facility. The ALERT System, weather
imaging display systems, and NOAA weather radio are located in the ALERT Computer
Room across the hall from the Storm Operations Center.
