Description:MyCoast NY is a statewide portal used to collect and analyze photos of flooding, storm damage, and coastal change. When a photo report is submitted, it is automatically linked to data from the closest weather, river, and tidal or lake gauge to help provide context to the photo, and is then posted to the mycoast.org/ny website for anyone to see. Photo reports can be submitted through the app (iPhone / Android) or the website with a registered account. The three photo report types are: • Flood Watch: Tracking flooding across the state. This includes inland and coastal flooding. • Storm Reporter: Documenting storm damage across the state. • Coast Snap: Capturing the changing shoreline–currently at three locations. Use MyCoast as a repository for photos of flood and storm impacts that can help raise awareness, build political will, inform municipal planning and emergency management, and complement other data and mapping. MyCoast brings together community members, local officials, state agencies, researchers, and NGOs in sharing and using the information.
