SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides ready access to authoritative flood stage thresholds from the National Weather Service, enabling users to determine flood levels for USGS stations and match stations to their corresponding thresholds.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Data sources: contains official flood stage thresholds for action, minor, moderate, and major stages; supports both bulk and per-station lookups.
  • Use cases: ideal for monitoring dashboards, alerting systems, and simulations that require accurate flood level detection and station mapping.
  • Data handling: includes data parsing, numeric conversion, and validation to ensure thresholds are usable in downstream workflows.

Quick Start

Fetch and load the latest NWS flood thresholds for your target USGS stations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fetch NWS flood stage thresholds for USGS stations?▼

You can fetch NWS flood stage thresholds for USGS stations by loading the provided CSV data, which the Skill parses to map action, minor, moderate, and major flood levels to specific monitoring locations.

What are action, minor, moderate, and major flood stages used for in monitoring dashboards?▼

These flood stages are official threshold levels used to trigger alerts and visualize conditions on monitoring dashboards. They determine when water levels reach critical points for specific USGS stations.

How do I handle missing or invalid numeric values when parsing flood threshold CSV data?▼

When parsing flood threshold CSV data, the Skill applies numeric conversion and validation logic to filter out missing values, ensuring only usable threshold data is passed to downstream workflows.

Can I retrieve flood thresholds for a single USGS station instead of bulk loading all data?▼

Yes, the Skill supports both bulk data loading and per-station lookups, allowing you to retrieve specific NWS flood thresholds for individual USGS stations as needed for your alerting systems.

How do I map NWS flood thresholds to specific USGS monitoring stations?▼

To map NWS flood thresholds to USGS stations, the Skill parses the CSV data, converts threshold values to numerics, and validates the entries to accurately match each station to its corresponding flood stage levels.
