Abstract—The floods recognition on the net (Floreon+) is a system primary developed to provide flood monitoring and simulating capabilities that support flood management process within the Moravian-Silesian (MSK) region in the Czech Republic. The major aim of this paper is to introduce the basic design, structure, components and algorithm of the FLOREON+ system that integrates different types of environmental models and data sources. Part of the article, as a secondary goal, is inducted to the interconnection between the HPC infrastructure and the system. The FLOREON+ system with modular structure design continuously monitors the status of water behaviour within the region. The system improves public information about the past and present flood events by integrating hydrodynamic and rainfall runoff models. Overall, this system improves processing of disaster-related datasets as well as improves an ability of flood modelling and predictions and therefore it brings additional value for decision support in disaster management within the MSK region.
