Community science to improve flood prediction

iFlood is a partnership between the project team, our watershed partners, communities, and participant scientists to identify flooding events and improve flood prediction. Your reports submitted through iFlood provide information about timing, location, and impacts of flood events. These help our watershed partners respond to events and to evaluate and improve our models of flooding in your community.

Report Flooding in Your Community

Is your community experiencing a flood event? Make a report in a few simple steps:

1. Go to iflood.org/submit-a-report

2. Fill out the form and select Michigan as your location. Give as much detail as you can.

3. Upload images or video if you have them - pictures and video that include heights of known objects like STOP signs are especially helpful.

4. SUBMIT the form.
