About Us

ISeeChange is a platform for extreme weather data and community engagement.

Residents share real-time observations - from flooded streets to heat waves. ISeeChange combines these with sensor data and uses AI to turn them into actionable insights.

These insights help cities, engineers, and utilities prioritize investments and design weather-resilient solutions.
