Hoboken College Students Develop Flood Tracking App

HOBOKEN, NJ — Trying to track flooding in Hoboken? Now there's an app for that.

Just in time for Friday's heavy rain and reports of flooding throughout the city, comes the Environet app, a project from a team of senior design students at Stevens Institute of Technology that helps to track local flooding by level of severity.

The app was recently showcased at Stevens Institute's annual Innovation Expo. Learn more here.

"The app is essentially a Waze for weather, crowd-sourcing data from app users where they see flooding," a Stevens Institute spokesperson told Patch.
