Abstrakt: This paper addresses flood risk management and the need for preventive measures to minimize flood impacts in the Rio Grande de Morelia basin, Mexico. Due to rapid population growth and limited urban planning, the city of Morelia faces recurring flood threats that cause significant damage to communities, infrastructure, and the environment. This research proposes the development of a Flood Early Warning System (FEWS) that integrates data monitoring across three levels, utilizing a hydrological model calibrated with a 0.77 correlation coefficient. Hydraulic modelling identified 878.87 hectares as high flood-risk areas. The results suggest that this methodology can structure an effective FEWS system for the Rio Grande de Morelia, enhancing flood prediction and mitigation capabilities through continuous system improvement, data expansion, and real-time monitoring.
