Communities worldwide use tide data collected by Sea Level Scientists to help monitor water levels in communities! Companies like Applied Information are helping cities like Oregon upgrade their flood alarm systems to help evacuate areas in their community when it floods.

Let’s help protect communities from flooding! Today, we’ll use our Climate Action Kits to create our own flood alarm model.
