Project Overview
Smartphones are gaining market share.
Cell networks are more reliable than power grids.
Cell bandwidth has increased to allow complex information transmission.

Technical Approach
Explore delivery of a subset of NC-CERA layers in a mobile format
Develop a prototype map-based app that works cross-platform on Android and iOS tablet devices.
Use prototype app to push overlays and other services to test with Jessica Losego.

Future Work
Prototype additional layers from ADCIRC, NWS, consumer services, and NHC data.
Test as part of Jessica Losego’s Year 6 effort.
Solidify best-of-breed into Mobile Integrated Tool for Coastal Hazards (MITCH).
Publish services for integration into other Coastal Hazards tools
