Story angles
King tide citizen science
King tides are predictable months ahead. Before the next one, FloodRoute can publish a street-by-street forecast for your readers — then neighbors report and photograph what actually floods. “Local app seeks flood spotters for Saturday’s king tide.”
Local developer, national map
FloodRoute started in Marin County and made the front page of The Ark (Tiburon). It now maps towns from San Francisco Bay to Boston and Miami — and lets residents vote their own town onto the map.
New-town launches
Every new town is a local story: “Local app maps where [Town] floods.” We share launch-day maps, the most-flooded streets, and requester counts with that town’s paper.
