The United States has provided a Flash Flood Guidance System to Pakistan. The Flash Flood Guidance System for Pakistan has been developed by Hydrologic Research Center (HRC), USA through the collaboration among the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), US National Weather Service, USAID, HRC, USA and PMD. The development of Flash Flood Guidance System for Pakistan has been conceived during WMO Expert Mission that visited Pakistan in November 2010 in the wake of 2010 Super Floods.
The main objective of the Flash Flood Guidance System (FFGS) is to provide near real-time guidance products pertaining to the imminence of potential small-scale flash flooding throughout Pakistan. Though the initial version of Flash Flood Guidance System has been implemented at Met Office, Islamabad, still the validation and calibration of the System will continue for the next 2-3 years through joint efforts and collaboration of the scientists of PMD and HRC in order to improve the Flash Flood Guidance System's utilisation and efficiency.
