Sea Level Rise

The Sea Level Rise app empowers individuals to actively participate in mapping the effects of flooding within their communities, thereby contributing valuable data on sea level rise and other flooding impacts. This tool is crucial for everyone living in or near low-lying coastal areas, where the effects of rising sea levels are increasingly felt. Our journey began in Hampton Roads, Virginia, where we've harnessed the power of community through the "Catch the King Tide" events organized by thousands of dedicated volunteers. Developed by Wetlands Watch, the app fosters a more informed and connected community, enabling us to stay proactive in addressing sea level rise.

By using the Sea Level Rise app, you can engage in crowd-sourcing events to gather essential street-level data that researchers and civic leaders desperately need but often lack. The app allows you to identify and report "Trouble" spots where high water disrupts travel during inclement weather. You can also capture and share photos to document the real-time impact in your community. Furthermore, the app provides specific collaboration spaces, known as regions, where you can manage volunteers and schedule mapping events, enhancing our collective efforts to understand and mitigate the challenges posed by sea level rise.
