The possibility of a work machine 40 being affected by a disaster in a second designated area including an existence position of the work machine 40 is predicted based on an amount of rainfall in a first designated area. A hazard map representing a result of the prediction of the possibility of the work machine 40 being affected by a disaster in the second designated area is outputted to a remote output interface 220 in a remote operation apparatus 20 (a client) (or a management output interface 620 in a management client 60). Accordingly, a user can take measures to reduce the possibility of the work machine being affected by a disaster, for example, to communicate with the persons involved in order to move the work machine 40 from a current position.

Described herein are methods and systems for real-time swiftwater risk category distributed mapping. A mobile computing device generates a request for swiftwater risk information, the request including a location. A server computing device receives the request for swiftwater risk information from the mobile computing device. The server computing device models hydrologic conditions for a plurality of segments of one or more bodies of water at or near the location. The server computing device classifies each segment of the bodies of water according to a level of potential risk of hazards associated with the hydrologic conditions. The server computing device generates a visual representation of the bodies of water that includes a classification indicator for one or more of the plurality of segments for display on the mobile computing device, and transmits the visual representation to the mobile computing device.

Example embodiments provide systems and methods for simulating a disease outbreak using a relatively simple formula based on a limited number of input parameters. In particular, disease severity is computed based on a relationship between leaf wetness duration and average temperature during a wetness period. The resulting model is a physical, deterministic model that accepts hourly weather data as input and outputs the most significant severity event of disease infection during a specified (e.g., one-day) period. This information can then be used to guide the application of various treatments when they can be most effective (e.g., when predicted disease severity is at its worst).
