About a place Anonymized data

FloodVision automatically analyzes live road camera footage from the Department of Transportation to detect flooding and estimate water depth across New York City. The system operates fully autonomously and provides flood-detection data to the Department of Environmental Protection to support decisions about flood response priorities. No personal or identifying information about individuals is collected or used — the system only observes road conditions.
