MyCoast: Rhode Island collects crowdsourced photos from volunteers statewide who upload pictures of localized flooding to the app. These photos are linked to data about weather and tides, creating reports that help stakeholders like government agencies, business owners, and residents to understand flooding risks and make informed decisions to better protect neighborhoods and infrastructure.
