Description:On September 9–11, 2014, the NWS convened a two-and-a-half-day Flash Flood Summit to begin refining the vision for the future of U.S. flash flood services. The Summit, held in the newly constructed National Water Center (NWC) in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, brought together 60 representatives from federal and state governments, the private sector, academia, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The objectives of the Summit were to: • Agree on a shared vision for future flash flood services: hydrologically consistent, end-to-end flash flood services to be implemented through a national water modeling and information services framework. • Identify priority requirements/functional components to achieve the flash flood services vision. • Explore the intersection between science and social science requirements to help inform priorities. • Agree on a path forward to transform flash flood services over the next 10 years.
