Across the Bay in a storm, use Waze for flood info

January 9, 2022 by Wayne Creed Leave a Comment

Virginia Pilot Online – Norfolk drivers have become attuned to the street-by-street nuances of navigating flooding. Now they’ll be the first to test a more precise way to maneuver around floodwaters, based not on local smarts but real-time data.

On Monday, the city launched the integration of locally developed technology with the navigation app Waze. It will offer real-time alerts about flooded roads.

An example of what Norfolk Waze users can see as they navigate flooding in the city. The technology for these alerts was developed by climate tech company FloodMapp, funded by RISE Resilience Innovations.

Waze is piloting the program with Norfolk. The forecasting technology comes from FloodMapp, a climate tech company funded by RISE Resilience Innovations, the Norfolk-based nonprofit that doles out money and resources to find solutions to environmental challenges.
