# FloodRoute for journalists

Street-level king tide forecasts: which roads flood, when, and for how long. Free live maps for every covered town, plus an iPhone app with alerts.

> Front page of The Ark (Tiburon). Coverage also in the Marin IJ.

## 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.

## Fast facts

- **Coverage:** 39 towns across 6 states (and growing by request)
- **Data:** NOAA CO-OPS tide predictions + per-road elevation (NAVD88) + rainfall and air pressure adjustments
