Resumen
Flood management is an important approach to reduce damage caused by floods. In this context, technological
architectures which work in real-time are needed. However, Brazil has faced many structural difficulties in
obtaining updated information on the current state of its rivers. To address this problem, this paper outlines a
geosensor dashboard called AGORA-GeoDash, which processes data streams from wireless sensor networks
and makes them available in the form of a set of performance indicators that are essential to support real-time
decision-making in flood risk monitoring. The dashboard was built on open-source frameworks, made use of
geoservices that comply with the standards of Open Geospatial Consortium, and established a Wireless Sensor
Network which monitors the rivers of São Carlos/SP in Brazil. The analysis of the indicators available in two
rainfall events revealed that the dashboard can provide the key information required for the decision-making
process involved in flood risk management
