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 anyone to map flooding in their community, providing essential documentation of sea level rise and its broader impacts on flooding. Whether you're a resident or a visitor in a low-lying coastal region, the effects of sea level rise are imminent, and your contribution can make a significant difference.

Our journey began in Hampton Roads, Virginia, where we harnessed the power of thousands of volunteers during annual "Catch the King Tide" events. These efforts, orchestrated by Wetlands Watch, have propelled us toward becoming a better-informed and connected community, better equipped to tackle the challenges of sea level rise head-on.

By using the Sea Level Rise app, you can access user-submitted information about this global phenomenon and volunteer to gather crucial street-level data. This data is vital for researchers and civic leaders who need localized insights to address and mitigate the effects of sea level rise. With the app, you're able to:

• Join crowd-sourcing events to collect the specific data that researchers and civic leaders need but often lack
• Identify and report "Trouble" spots where high water impacts your travel during adverse weather conditions
• Take and share photos to document the real-time impacts happening in your community
• Engage with specific collaboration spaces, called regions, to manage volunteers and schedule mapping events effectively
