The project provides a crowdsourced mapping platform for the Houston metro area, as well as the I-45 corridor, Galveston, Beaumont-Port Arthur, Lake Charles, Baton Rouge and New Orleans," Tailwind Labs and Marine Weather and Climate, the creators of the platform, said on the U-Flood website. "Real-time mapping is crucial right now as first responders are still in rescue mode trying to locate and save flood victims."

Interesting that FEMA has been trying to develop a comm. system for years so first responders from different agencies can talk to each other. Hundreds of millions of dollars later, it's still not ready to roll out. Volunteers figured out how to use Zello to do the same thing in a matter of hours.
