 # ciroh-devcon26
 This will contain all the material for the CIROH Developers Conference 2026 for  surrogate model using FIMserv and large scale FIM evaluation framework workshop provided by SDML, UA.
+# Flood Inundation Mapping (FIM) Enhancement Using Surrogate Modeling
+The Surrogate Modeling (SM) is a U-Net convolutional architecture that leverages the binary FIMs generated from Operational NOAA Office of Water Prediction (OWP) Height Above Nearest Drainage (HAND) model as the low-fidelity baseline, and integrates additional topographic and hydrologic forcings to enhance accuracy and improve agreement with higher-fidelity inundation products.
