Application Description

Engage in crowd-sourcing events to gather essential data on sea level rise with the Sea Level Rise app, which empowers users to map flooding within their communities. This tool plays a crucial role in documenting the impacts of sea level rise and other flooding events. Whether you're already feeling the effects or preparing for future challenges, the Sea Level Rise app is a vital resource for anyone in low-lying coastal areas.

Our journey began in Hampton Roads, Virginia, where we've harnessed the power of community involvement during annual "Catch the King Tide" events. These efforts, spearheaded by Wetlands Watch, have not only engaged thousands of volunteers but have also propelled us towards becoming a more informed and connected community, better equipped to tackle the challenges of sea level rise.

By using the Sea Level Rise app, you can access user-submitted data about this global phenomenon and actively participate as a volunteer in capturing street-level data. This is crucial for understanding and addressing the challenges posed by rising sea levels. The app allows you to:

• Engage in crowd-sourcing events to collect the localized data that researchers and civic leaders need but often lack
• Identify and report "Trouble" spots where high water impacts travel during bad weather
• Document and share photos that capture what's happening in your community
• Access dedicated collaboration spaces, known as regions, to manage volunteers and plan mapping events
