No single team can cover every road and every street. Share what you are seeing and we will publish it to the live map below.
Tell us where you are and what you can see. Every response is reviewed by our editors and published to the live map and gallery below.
The map widget below plots every approved reader submission by location, giving journalists and readers a real-time picture of where flooding is worst. This is impossible to achieve with traditional reporting alone. Readers become the newsroom's eyes across the whole community.
Each pin on the map is a reader submission. Click any pin to see the photo, video or message from that location.
During a fast-moving story, submissions arrive quickly. Contribly's AI-assisted moderation helps editors review, verify and publish at scale — flagging unverifiable claims and surfacing the most geographically diverse and newsworthy submissions first.
