SaferPlaces and meteoblue have announced a strategic partnership that brings together the best of both worlds (SaferPlaces' cutting-edge flood intelligence technology and our world-class weather forecasting capabilities) to give cities, utilities, and emergency services the tools they need to act before disaster strikes.
From Weather Data to Life-Saving Intelligence
At the heart of the collaboration is SaferCast, SaferPlaces' flagship flood intelligence platform. By feeding our high-resolution rainfall forecasts and real-time nowcasting directly into SaferCast's predictive engine, operators can now see not just where rain is falling – but also where floods will form, how severe they could be, and how much time there is to respond.
It's the difference between reacting to a flood and being ready for one.
Built for the People Who Can't Afford to Get It Wrong
The integrated solution is designed for those on the front lines of climate risk: urban planners managing growing cities, utility operators protecting essential services, and civil protection teams coordinating emergency responses. For all of them, earlier and more accurate flood intelligence is critical.
The partnership addresses four key areas where that intelligence matters most:
- predicting pluvial and fluvial flood risk in real time
- issuing early warnings for urban flash flooding
- supporting smarter operational decisions under pressure
- informing long-term climate adaptation planning
A Timely Alliance
Floods are already one of the world's most costly natural disasters, and climate change is making them more frequent and more severe. Partnerships like this one, combining deep meteorological expertise with next-generation risk intelligence, represent exactly the kind of innovation cities need to stay ahead of what's coming.
Both companies have expressed strong commitment to the collaboration, with a shared vision of a world where no community is caught off guard by a flood that could have been foreseen.
