Smart Flood Monitoring & Forecast

Frankenberg (Eder) is one of the municipalities receiving Hesse's state-wide heavy-rain early-alarm system, funded through Starke Heimat Hessen and awarded in August 2025: rainfall, river-level and drainage sensors combined with German Weather Service data are meant to trigger SMS, email and voice alerts to citizens, responders and authorities within seconds — once installed over the programme's two-year rollout window.
