What this page shows.
River and creek levels are measured live by NWS/USGS gauges (15–60 minute updates). Active flood
warnings and watches come straight from the National Weather Service and may include storm-based
polygons that cover only a few neighborhoods. The optional FEMA flood zones overlay shows
the city's mapped 100-year (high risk) and 500-year (moderate risk) floodplains — static
data, not real time, but useful for seeing where warnings are most likely to translate
into actual flooding.
Active road closures come from Sedgwick County Public Works' public road-closure feed, filtered to in-progress flood and storm-damage closures. The feed covers all of Sedgwick County including the city of Wichita, but only shows streets after county or city crews have reported a barricade — actual flooding can occur before a closure is posted.
What it doesn't show. There is no public real-time per-intersection flood-sensor feed. The City of Wichita's separate road-closure layer publishes only construction and event closures, not high-water barricades, so it's not used here. Always defer to NWS Wichita and local emergency officials, and never drive through flooded roadways.
