Participating in crowd-sourcing events to capture sea level rise data has never been easier, thanks to the Sea Level Rise app. This innovative tool empowers individuals to map flooding in their communities, providing crucial documentation of sea level rise and other flooding impacts. The app is designed for everyone, especially those in low-lying coastal regions who are directly affected by these environmental changes.

Our journey began in Hampton Roads, Virginia, where we've harnessed the power of community involvement during annual "Catch the King Tide" events. These events, organized by Wetlands Watch, have engaged thousands of volunteers in mapping efforts. The Sea Level Rise app is a testament to our commitment to fostering a better-informed and connected community, helping us stay one step ahead of the rising waters.

By using the app, you can access user-submitted data about this global phenomenon and actively participate as a volunteer in capturing street-level data. This information is essential for researchers and civic leaders who need localized data to better understand and address the challenges posed by sea level rise. Here's what you can do with the app:

• Participate in crowd-sourcing events to collect the localized data that is crucial yet often lacking for researchers and civic leaders.
• Identify and report "Trouble" spots near you where high water impacts your travel during adverse weather conditions.
• Capture and share photos to document the real-time effects of flooding in your community.
• Engage with specific collaboration spaces, known as regions, where you can coordinate volunteers and plan mapping events.
