The purpose of the project is to document high water marks to show previous flooding levels. It is an educational tool that allows people to take photos of high water levels and post them on social media with a hashtag. The program was created by FEMA.

Thirty-seven communities participated in a pilot project through Cape Cod Cooperative Extension.
