The methods and tools vary in complication and process, but the end pursuit is the same; provide decision makers with advance warning of impending flood conditions. During daytime and in flatter topographical areas, there have been successes. At night in the mountains, the pursuit has been deadly. River Sentry is comprised of military war planners. Our expertise is guarding threatened real estate and lives from the most lethal and unpredictable threats our adversaries might invent. Threats are studied, classified, then mitigated with technology, tactics, and procedures. The process is effective and works here. Flash Floods are easily defined as a six-parameter threat further described as an “unpredictable, unstoppable, time critical, detectable, single direction, lethal threat”. ...
