This area was created by the staff at Wetlands Watch and supports activity for the new “Sea Level Rise” app. We are running the app on iPhone and Android devices and are in the field testing it now. The goal is to crowdsource flooding information for use by researchers, emergency managers, people working on predictive flood models, and citizens seeking control of the flooding impacts in their coastal communities - so we can start to take action on flooding and sea level rise.
Version 1.1 of the app has two modes for data collection:
1) Trouble – this mode allows the approved user to indicate locations where flooding occurs, provide some information about the type of flooding (rain, tidal, both), and take photos of the location. Red pins are dropped at flood locations and are displayed along with descriptive information.
2) Events – this mode collects information about the extent of flooding during flood events by allowing the approved user to walk the edge of the flooded area and drop blue location pins every few feet, creating an outline of the extent of the flooding.
While the app is available to all to view, data entry is only allowed for approved users who have undergone basic training (takes 10 mins). This is done to insure consistent data collection, since some of this information will be used by government agencies and academic researchers to develop flood protection tools in the future.
This device is being tested along the Atlantic Coast and will work anywhere in the world. We are expanding its use and finding new test cases for its operation and looking for new partners to insure the app's sustainability.

David Richards @Sea Level Rise: Old Dominion University, Wetlands Watch, AeroTech and Concursive Corporation are partnering on the "Market Bridge Coastal Resilience Challenge" competition. This is a design competition that rewards the winning team with $10,000. What do you have to win? Simply submit the best idea for a next-generation mobile app that helps us live with, adapt to, and manage sea level rise. The competition isn't looking for the app to be developed. Rather, simply for it to be conceived and illustrated. For more information visit: http://gov2com.org/s...

David Richards @Sea Level Rise: You wouldn't know this by the number of "News" items we add to this stream, but there's actually been a fair number of tests and live mappings of water-related events. These have taken place with volunteers as well as real academics from Maine to Florida and many states in-between.
