Colorado residents are using a crowd sourcing map tool to help identify flooding damage for current claims and future planning efforts. |
Using geo-located pins, community members can submit their stories or data related to the flooding, which they can also enhance with photos or videos, according to the city.
The map has specific date and time categories including flooding, road damage, path damage, property damage, debris and overflows.
The mapping tool is called Crowdmap and is available for use on computers or iPhone and Android devices.
All data and photos posted to the site will become public domain.
The specific data the city hopes residents will provide is expected to assist in flooding assessments as well as future flood planning efforts, officials say.
