Yes, I would be happy to.
For the modelling data, what has been developed in Canada is open source and open data. The transparency is crucially important, but it requires provincial interpretation, because the provincial governments manage our water resources. That means they manage the reservoirs, the dams, the dikes and the flood control structures in cities and others.
They also know their populations. In the Prairies, where I'm from, it's about sloughs spilling over and breaking grid roads. Things like this are of great concern in the very flat areas. In the high mountains, it's about how quickly water is rushing down the hill slope and carrying debris. In the lake country of the boreal forest throughout Canada, it's about the management of those lakes and reservoirs, which are often interprovincial and highly complex. That data always needs the provincial interpretation to the communities, and they have those established frameworks there.
What this is about is empowering the provincial forecasters with federal supercomputer power and federal models. Some of them are still using spreadsheets for doing some of this, with very low budgets, but this is to help them out and to bring up the standard across the country, so that we have a fit-for-purpose system across the country, which we currently do not have.
