Join the global effort to document sea level rise by participating in crowd-sourcing events through the Sea Level Rise app. This innovative tool empowers you to map the flooding in your community, providing valuable data on the impacts of sea level rise and other flooding events. Whether you live in or near a low-lying coastal area, your contribution can make a significant difference.
Our journey began in Hampton Roads, Virginia, where we've harnessed the power of thousands of volunteers during annual "Catch the King Tide" events, organized by Wetlands Watch. This app fosters a better-informed and connected community, helping us stay ahead of the challenges posed by sea level rise.
By using the Sea Level Rise app, you can access user-submitted information about this global phenomenon and actively participate as a volunteer in capturing critical street-level data. This data is essential for researchers and civic leaders who need localized insights to address and solve the challenges brought by sea level rise. Here's what you can do with the app:
- Participate in crowd-sourcing events to gather the localized data that is crucial yet often unavailable to researchers and civic leaders.
- Identify and report "Trouble" spots where high water disrupts travel during inclement weather, helping others navigate safely.
- Capture and share photos that document the real-time impacts of flooding in your community, raising awareness and fostering action.
- Engage with specific collaboration spaces, known as regions, where you can coordinate volunteers and schedule mapping events to maximize your community's efforts.
