Participate in crowd-sourcing events to capture sea level rise data and contribute to a vital cause. The Sea Level Rise app empowers individuals to map flooding within their communities, providing crucial documentation of sea level rise and its flooding impacts. This tool is essential for everyone living in or near low-lying coastal regions, areas increasingly affected by rising waters.
Our journey began in Hampton Roads, Virginia, where we've harnessed the power of community through annual "Catch the King Tide" events. Organized by Wetlands Watch, these initiatives have involved thousands of volunteers and have been instrumental in enhancing our understanding of local flooding patterns. The Sea Level Rise app fosters a more informed and interconnected community, equipping us to proactively address the challenges posed by sea level rise.
By using the app, you can access user-generated data on this global issue and actively participate in gathering the street-level information that is essential for researchers and civic leaders. The app offers several key features:
- Join crowd-sourcing events to collect the localized data that is urgently needed but often unavailable.
- Identify and report "Trouble" spots where high water disrupts your travel during adverse weather conditions.
- Document and share photos that capture the real-time impacts of flooding in your community.
- Engage in specific collaboration spaces, known as regions, where you can coordinate volunteers and plan mapping events.
