Abstract
A system and method for implementing the deployment of sandbags so as to mitigate any damages when flooding is forecast. The system may use local weather information, local topographical information and current flooding conditions to produce a virtual map showing suggested sandbag deployment to mitigate flood damage. Such a virtual map is interactively displayed in a virtual home environment. The user interacts with the virtual home environment via an avatar. RFID tags, or any other suitable near field identification technology, are placed inside the sand bags such that the actual locations of the sandbags can be compared to the suggested deployment.
