It may be argued that in the context of developing countries, flood preparedness is more valuable than the actual response to a flood disaster. The paper looks at this flood preparedness in the context of informal and semi-formal settlements. An information technology infrastructure is proposed that will allow decision makers to be alerted to possible flood high risk areas, and in so doing maximise preparednessenFlood linesRisk preparednessInformation technology infrastructureSensor webSouth AfricaOpen sensor resourcesISCRAM 2009 ConferenceFlood riskOpen accessConference PresentationVan Zyl, T., Parbhoo, C., Moodley, D., Cwela, B., Umuhoza, D., Shabangu, P., & Vahed, A.
