The present paper describes a cyclone wind model and storm surge and flooding model for the east coast of India. They form part of the operational Storm Surge and Flood Forecast System that was recently developed and implemented in India. Results from these models are used to produce flood maps and potential wind damage maps with the help of GIS layers. The cyclone wind model is based upon that of Holland, and was modified for the present applications. A high-resolution time interpolation scheme has been devised, which uses a moving grid. The concepts and the application have been validated using a number of actual cases including the super cyclone ORISSA. A stable and efficient overland flooding procedure is presented. It is shown that the surge and flooding model is able to reproduce the inundation with high degree of accuracy. The set-up of the 24 hours operational system that includes the receipt of up to date observational data through satellites is also presented.
