Volunteer Role Descriptions

Floodzilla Gauge Steward

A gauge steward would be responsible for maintenance and care of one or more specific gauge location. The gauge stewards would become members of the Floodzilla team, attend monthly meetings, keep up with flood events, and troubleshoot their specific gauges, especially before a forecasted flood event. Duties might include:

• Help prepare and reinstall/take down gauges, change batteries, inspect antenna, clean sensor and transmitter
• Clear vegetation and/or debris interfering with sensor readings



This is a ongoing, annual, volunteer role, not a one time volunteer opportunity.

Floodzilla Data Steward

A data steward would be responsible for ensuring accurate readings and data are being recorded/documented. Data stewards would become members of the Floodzilla team, attend monthly meetings, keep up with flood events, and monitor data (especially immediately preceding and during a flood event).Duties might include:

• Ensure gauges are online and data readings are not picking up interference like vegetation.
• Monitor flood data readings and coordinate with SVPA staff or gauge steward to clear debris.

This is a ongoing, annual, volunteer role, not a one time volunteer opportunity.
