This paper presents a model for the rational placement of monitoring stations aimed at timely flood detection. The proposed approach optimizes the spatial distribution of sensors to ensure early warning, minimize response time, and enhance flood management strategies. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the model in detecting potential flood events, supporting decision-making, and reducing risks to human life and infrastructure. The study provides a technical framework for strategic deployment of monitoring systems in flood-prone areas. Keywords: flood, rational placement of monitoring posts, model. Floods rank among the most destructive natural disasters worldwide, causing significant human and economic losses [1,2]. Timely detection and monitoring are crucial for mitigating their impact [3]. This paper presents a model for the rational placement of monitoring posts, both stationary and mobile, aimed at timely flood detection. The methodology includes a systematic approach to constructing a surface that represents water level rise across a given territory. The proposed model allows for optimal resource allocation, ensuring early warnings and efficient response strategies [4,5]. Floods are among the most frequent and damaging natural disasters,
