Sea Level Rise

Participate in crowd-sourcing events to capture sea level rise data with the Sea Level Rise app, a powerful tool that enables anyone to map flooding in their community. This app not only helps document the impacts of sea level rise but also other forms of flooding, making it an essential resource for understanding and addressing this global challenge.

While virtually everyone in and around low-lying coastal regions is or will be affected by sea level rise, our journey began in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Through the dedication of thousands of volunteers during annual "Catch the King Tide" events, developed by Wetlands Watch, we've gained invaluable insights. The Sea Level Rise app is a step forward in creating a better-informed and connected community, empowering us to stay ahead of rising sea levels.

By using the app, you can access user-submitted information about this global phenomenon and participate as a volunteer in capturing essential street-level data. This data is crucial for researchers and civic leaders who often lack the localized information needed to address the challenges posed by sea level rise. With the Sea Level Rise app, you can:

• Participate in crowd-sourcing events to capture the localized data researchers and civic leaders require, but lack
• Find and add nearby "Trouble" spots where high water affects your travel during times of inclement weather
• Capture and share photos that document what's occurring in your community
• Access specific collaboration spaces, called regions, where you can manage volunteers and schedule mapping events
