Abstract

Every year, the state of Veracruz suffers from constant torrential rains that produce overflows in rivers and streams as well as floods in urban areas. Due to the orography of the state, there are few hours for the evacuation of people from risk areas. That is why, this paper presents a software that helps the civil protection authorities to take preventive actions in cases of emergency due to extreme weather events. This software considers information such as: current amount of water in the region, rain forecast, soil porosity and orography of the region. With this information, the system generates a simulation of floods in that area. The system is implemented using parallelization of the problem domain and using multi-threaded techniques and distributed computation to reduce the execution time of the simulation.

The case of the region near the Cazones River basin is presented as an example of the utility of the system. It could simulate 72 h of rain falling in the area of 50 km × 20 km and showing the areas that could be affected during the flood.
