In the past, we could only respond to emergencies and reduce disaster impacts after things had happened. Onsite investigation for incident response even puts front-line staff's lives at risk. To protect everyone, the scientists put efforts into mitigating the impacts of natural disasters by running big data analysis on weather, topography, landforms, and city models and using supercomputer for smart flood-proofing. The powerful computing of the TWCC is able to get images with high-resolution of 20x20 meters and provide the predictive report of next hour's water stage across Taiwan every 3 minutes. When natural disasters strike, we are able to keep the pulse on the city's water stage of the next 3 to 12 hours. Warning Information in floodgates operating and community self-response are also available. This can facilitate the disaster management from "passive disaster relief" to "proactive disaster prevention" and achieves the goal of early deployment.
