Chennai has been suffering from floods for the last few weeks. The city’s infrastructure had been hit hard and life’s come to a standstill. The situation seems bleaker by the minute.

However, the city’s trying hard to attempt a comeback. A crowd-sourced effort has built a digital map that shows flooded streets, vulnerable and inundated areas and most importantly the way to the nearest relief camps. The map currently shows over 1515 inundated roads.

This free map is open to all and offers extensive access to the entire map of the city. Citizens can report newly flooded streets and other critical information with their smartphones.
