Cloudburst Collective is a civic tech initiative by two New Yorkers studying at MIT to close climate data gaps. Here’s how it works:
Get an alert – Receive a text when there’s a heavy rainfall event in your area.
Share what you see – Reply with a photo of any flooding you notice.
See the big picture – View images from other New Yorkers to understand how the storm is impacting neighborhoods citywide.
Together, we can make NYC’s climate data stronger and truly collective.

Our first phase focuses on building a community of contributors through SMS. As we grow, we are continuing to refine and improve the platform. By signing up, you are helping build a better picture of where flooding happens and how it affects neighborhoods in NYC. Thank you for being part of this effort!
Incubated through delta v, an MIT accelerator program.
