metWISE Heat Watch and aquaFLOOD

Vassar Labs is a climate technology company with a corporate head office in Hyderabad, India, and states it has more than a decade of experience. Its metWISE platform is positioned as digital public infrastructure for disaster risk management, with AI-powered early warnings, continuous monitoring and damage assessment.

Modules include flood early warning, 2D and 3D flood risk simulation, heatwave early warnings, drought monitoring, cloudburst alerts, forest fire and cyclone monitoring. Flood work is delivered as aquaFLOOD, which forecasts basin inflows and inundation, and Heat Watch combines IMD and ECMWF forecasts into district and block level heatwave maps.

• Flood early warning: forecasts reservoir and basin inflows and maps inundation risk.
• Flood risk simulation: 2D and 3D simulation tool.
• Heat Watch: heatwave severity maps from IMD and ECMWF forecasts with drill-down to block level.
• Sector overlays: schools, healthcare facilities and childcare centers with alert status.
• Multi-hazard modules: drought, cloudburst, cyclone and forest fire monitoring.

Provincial hydrometeorological agencies can forecast reservoir inflows and inundation areas. Health and education departments can receive heat alerts for hospitals and schools. Insurers can use flood risk simulation for portfolio assessment.

Longer lead time lets authorities act before heat thresholds are breached. District and block level detail replaces uniform regional assessments. Sector overlays for schools and health facilities link heat risk to decisions. Downloadable advisory reports and a no-code, cloud-based platform allow quick deployment.

Governments increasingly want AI-based early warning for heat and flood that reaches district level, a theme highlighted at the India AI Impact Summit 2026. Vietnam's provinces need comparable hyperlocal heat and flood advisories for health, schools and agriculture.
