Loading...Download the DA Form 5 – 130 also known as Flood Prediction. This form provides a record of flood stage monitoring during storms or other events that may be potentially dangerous and may likely cause flooding. The DA Form 5 -130 assist in prediction of what may occur with rising water and flood stages.
How To Fill-In
Step 1 – The user of this form would begin by filling in section 1, Flood Prediction, as required. In the “Flood Prediction” block, choose any of the three boxes that apply to a particular event, then fill in the following:
- Date and/or Time
- Station
- Name and location of stream
- Gage – Reading and Stage
Step 2 – Under “Precipitation,” record the following:
- Time (that monitoring had begun)
- Observed Over Basin
- Predicted Additional
- Total Used In Flood Prediction
Step 3 – In the section “Predicted River Stages” all measurement is required to be entered in feet. Also document the following:
- Time (measurement occurs)
- Interval (in which measurements are acquired)
- Starting
- Peak Stage
- Time
Step 4 – In the section titled “Expected Duration Of Stages And Maximum Surface Velocities” stages and velocities will be recorded in intervals:
Stage:
- Feet
- Hours
- Starting (time of measurement)
- Ending (time of measurement)
Velocity:
- Ft/Sec
- Hours
- Starting (time of gauge)
- Ending (time of gauge)
- Flood Stages Begin At (how many feet)
- Approaches To Bridge At Gage Flooded (at how many feet)
- Bridge Floor Elevation Equivalent To Stage (record in feet)
Indicate Maximum Feet:
- Surface Velocity ( in Ft/sec)
- Width
- Depth
- Time of Occurrence
Step 5 – To Be Used By Centralized Prediction Service Or More Than One Gage. In this section provide:
- Flood Prediction Service For ( agency name)
- Time (of service)
Last Observed Stage, provide the following for each section of columns:
- Gage Name
- Last Observed Stage
- Feet and Time
Stage Predicted:
- Feet and Time
- Estimated Peak
- Feet and Time
- Weather Forecast
- Time (of forecast)
- Remarks – that may be important regarding the data provided collectively or individually.
Step 6 –
- Type Or Print Name And Title of Preparing Official
- Signature (of preparing official)
