1. A flood footprint estimation system for generating a flood footprint, the flood footprint estimation system comprising:
memory storing computer-executable instructions; and
a hardware processor in communication with the memory, wherein the computer-executable instructions, when executed by the hardware processor, cause the hardware processor to:
obtain, from a user device, a request to generate a flood footprint for a geographic area at a first time, wherein the geographic area comprises a first body of water;
determine one or more water surface elevation values at various points along the first body of water;
apply a smoothing function to the determined one or more water surface elevation values to generate one or more smoothed water surface elevation values in which the one or more smoothed water surface elevation values decrease from a source of the first body of water toward a mouth of the first body of water;
determine one or more locations in the geographic area that have an elevation below the one or more smoothed water surface elevation values;
generate user interface data that, when rendered by the user device, causes the user device to display a user interface depicting an indication of the one or more locations that have an elevation below the one or more smoothed water surface elevation values at the first time to mitigate damage or loss of life during a flood event at the first time; and
transmit the user interface data to the user device.
