Engage in crowd-sourcing events to gather essential data on sea level rise with the Sea Level Rise app. This innovative tool empowers individuals to map flooding in their communities, creating a vital record of the impacts of sea level rise and other flooding events. As sea level rise affects everyone in low-lying coastal areas, our initial efforts began in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Through the dedicated efforts of thousands of volunteers during annual "Catch the King Tide" events organized by Wetlands Watch, we've made significant strides. The app fosters a more informed and connected community, helping us stay ahead of the rising waters.

With the Sea Level Rise app, you can access user-submitted data on this global phenomenon and contribute as a volunteer to collect street-level data critical for understanding and addressing the challenges posed by sea level rise. The app enables you to:

• Participate in crowd-sourcing events to gather localized 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.
• Capture and share photos that document the flooding occurring in your community.
• Access specific collaboration spaces, called regions, where you can manage volunteers and schedule mapping events.
