Newswise — The Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology (KICT, President Park, Sun-Kyu) announced that it will apply its early detection technology for quasi-stationary linear rainband and sudden localized torrential rainfallto the Urban Flood Forecasting Platform operated by the Han River Flood Control Office in Korea for urban flood forecasting. As extreme rainfall events become more frequent due to climate change, the risk of urban flooding is also increasing. In particular, linear rainband—narrow, elongated bands of precipitation that remain quasi-stationary over a certain area and produce large amounts of rainfall—can generate rainfall exceeding the drainage capacity of urban areas, leading to flooding. Sudden, intense rainfall occurring over a localized area can also rapidly raise water levels in urban streams, making it a major cause of flash floods, rapid currents, and incidents involving people becoming stranded. Since November 2025, a KICT research team has participated in the Urban Flood Forecasting Task Force of the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment, supporting the review of key technologies required for platform development and the establishment of operational procedures. The team has applied its hazardous rainfall detection technology to the observation and monitoring functions of the Urban Flood Forecasting Platform, which is...
