New York, NY partners with NYU and CUNY researchers on FloodNet sensor network pilot

New York, NY NYU CUNY FloodNet Sensor Network Pilot

In Progress

The Mayor's Office of Climate Resiliency and universities co-designed a low-cost sensor for a unified flood detection network. Seven solar-powered units were split between Brooklyn's Gowanus neighborhood and the Jamaica Bay estuary. The sensors send data to the FloodNet dashboard for real-time monitoring of flood conditions. An interactive map shows color-coded flood depths from blue for none to magenta for major or more than 24 inches.
