Your car flooded. Mark it. Save the next driver.

FloodMark is the live, driver-powered flood hazard map. When a car floods, the driver marks the spot in two taps. Every driver behind them sees the pin and routes around the water instead of driving into it.

Launching soon on iPhone and Android.

How it works

Three moments, one map. The whole system is built around the worst two minutes of a driver's day.

1

Your car floods

You pull over and tap the big red MY CAR IS FLOODED button. The app grabs your GPS spot automatically. The form opens pre-set to Flooded car, Impassable. Two taps, under ten seconds, and your pin is warning everyone behind you.

2

You spot the water first

You stopped in time and turned around. Tap Report flooding, tap the map where the water is, pick the severity, done. Most pins will come from drivers like you, not from the victim.

3

You are driving toward it

Pins show type, severity, how fresh they are, and how many drivers confirmed them. Still flooded keeps a pin alive. It's clear now removes it. Every pin opens in Waze or Google Maps so you can steer around it.

One rule, printed in the app: never report while driving. Pull over first.

Pins you can trust

A stale flood pin is worse than no pin. So every FloodMark pin carries its own freshness, and the crowd keeps it honest.

24 hour expiry

Every pin deletes itself after 24 hours unless a driver on the scene confirms the water is still there. Confirmations extend a pin by 6 hours at a time.

Crowd confirmed

Each pin shows exactly how many other drivers confirmed it and when it was last seen. Three confirmations means three people stood there and said the water is real.

Cleared by anyone

The moment the water drains, any driver can clear the pin for everyone. No waiting for an official crew to notice.

For cities, fleets and partners

FloodMark is not a walled garden. Every active hazard is published in open formats, around the clock, so the warning can travel further than the app itself.

The honest part: Google Maps and Waze

There is no open API that pushes pins straight into Google Maps or Waze. The real door is the Waze for Cities partner program: approved partners publish a feed in Waze's format, Waze polls it, and the hazards appear in Waze for every driver. Because Google owns Waze, Waze road reports also surface inside Google Maps. FloodMark's feed is already built in that exact format. Inside the app today, every pin already deep-links into both navigation apps.

Questions

Is FloodMark free?

Yes. The app is free for drivers, and the public data feeds are free for cities and community partners.

Do I need an account?

No. No accounts, no names, no tracking. Your own location is never stored. Only the location of a hazard you choose to report is published, and it deletes itself.

When can I download it?

The app is built and heading to the App Store and Google Play now. The live map on this site runs on the same data the moment the backend is switched on.

Why does this need to exist if Waze has hazard reports?

Waze reports are one of many hazard types in a general app, filed from the driver's seat in traffic. FloodMark is built for the specific moment a car floods: a two-tap parked-car report, severity levels, crowd confirmation, automatic expiry, and an open feed any city or platform can use.
