"I'm very positive about the future of GIS. It's the right technology at the right time. When I think of all the major problems that we face throughout the world today—overpopulation, food shortages, reduced agricultural production, adverse climate change, poverty—these are all quintessentially geographic problems. These problems are all concerned with the human relationship to the land, and this is where GIS can make its biggest contribution. GIS is the technology of our times and is uniquely suited to assist in solving the problems that we face."

-Dr. Roger F. Tomilson, Father of GIS

5884 inundated roads reported
Flood Maps : An  Interactive map to visualize and crowdsource flood related information and inundated roads in Chennai, India using OpenStreetMap and Mapbox GL JS. If your street, building or neighborhood name is missing on the map, you can add it to the basemap directly by editing OSM. The flood map will be updated with the new street in under 10 minutes. The flooded streets layer is contributed by the public. Contributions are anonymous with no version control for the sake of simplicity.
