C-R-I-S-Hazard App Tracks Floods in Real Time | Tampa News

A new flood-tracking app called C-R-I-S-Hazard is revolutionizing safety in Pinellas County, Florida—think Waze for rising waters. Developed by USF St. Pete researchers, it combines real-time flood camera data (powered by solar and batteries) with user-submitted water depth reports to predict and map flooding zones. Using AI and machine learning, the app analyzes water movement and depth—from ankle to knee-high—to help drivers avoid dangerous streets. Backed by a $1.5 million federal grant, the system is critical as sea levels rise and high-tide flooding becomes more common, turning tech into a lifesaving tool for everyday commuters.
