3h agoOfficials in New Jersey are launching a campaign to have residents
document flooding in their neighborhoods and upload photos to a website that
will automatically correlate them with weather and tidal information.
The news comes with some of the highest tides of the year set to
arrive this week.
The goal is not only to build a database of frequently flooded
areas, but to help the public view and understand the flooding they see in
their neighborhood in the context of rising sea levels worldwide.
The Garden State is the 10th state to join the MyCoast
website and app. The public launch coincides with the arrival of so-called
“king tides” from May 24 through the 29.
AP wire services helped contribute
to this report.
