A web-based application gathers crowdsourced data to identify flooding and inform policy in coastal communities.

University of South Florida scientists used the CRIS-HAZARD app to analyze real-time flooding in Pinellas County , which is home to 588 miles of coastline.

The app can help inform decisions about policy and resource allocation.

The research team will continue to work with community partners in St. Petersburg and other flood-prone coastal areas of Pinellas County to refine the app. As the CRIS-HAZARD app gains users and data, the team hopes to make it available to communities nationwide. Story Source: Cite This Page:.
