Data project may drive policy for hyperlocal flooding in NYC

Work in New York City collects systematic data on street-level flooding, partnering with local agencies to design real-time flood sensors and an open code that other cities can build on.


Andrea Silverman (Civil & Urban Engineering, CUSP), Elizabeth Henaff (Integrated Design and Media, CUSP), and Tega Brain (Integrated Design and Media) all featured in this interview.

The three of them are asked about a variety of topics in reference to their work on their project, FloodNet.nyc.
