Sea Level Rise

Join the fight against sea level rise by participating in crowd-sourcing events with the Sea Level Rise app. This innovative tool empowers you to map flooding in your community, documenting the impacts of sea level rise and other flooding events. Designed for everyone in low-lying coastal regions, the app was initially developed in Hampton Roads, Virginia, where it has benefited from the mapping efforts of thousands of volunteers during annual "Catch the King Tide" events. Created by Wetlands Watch, this app fosters a better-informed and more connected community, enabling us to proactively address the challenges posed by rising sea levels.

By using the Sea Level Rise app, you can access user-submitted data on this global phenomenon and volunteer to capture vital street-level information. This data is crucial for researchers and civic leaders to better understand and tackle 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 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 occurrences in your community.
• Engage with specific collaboration spaces, called regions, to manage volunteers and schedule mapping events effectively.
