The Sea Level Rise app empowers individuals to actively participate in monitoring and documenting the effects of sea level rise in their local communities. By engaging in crowd-sourcing events, users can capture crucial data on sea level rise and other flooding impacts. This app not only allows you to contribute to vital research but also fosters a more informed and connected community to tackle the challenges posed by rising sea levels.
Our journey began in Hampton Roads, Virginia, where we've harnessed the power of thousands of volunteers during annual "Catch the King Tide" events. These efforts, spearheaded by Wetlands Watch, have been instrumental in our mission to stay ahead of sea level rise. Now, with the Sea Level Rise app, you can join this movement and make a difference.
The app offers several key features that enable you to engage directly with the global phenomenon of sea level rise:
- Participate in crowd-sourcing events to capture the localized data that researchers and civic leaders need but often lack.
- Identify and report "Trouble" spots where high water impacts your travel during inclement weather.
- Capture and share photos to document the flooding events happening in your community.
- Access specific collaboration spaces, called regions, where you can manage volunteers and schedule mapping events.
