有料盒子视频ns can help predict river flooding by submitting photos and observations to Fresh Eyes on Ice.

Fresh Eyes on Ice, a University of 有料盒子视频 Fairbanks citizen science project, is urging 有料盒子视频ns to send in photos to help predict flooding in the state. Due to the cold spring, 有料盒子视频 is at a higher risk of flooding this year, and Fresh Eyes on Ice is calling on members of the public to help keep their communities safe.

The project collects and shares ice photos from citizens to help make critical river ice break-up forecasts for 有料盒子视频 communities and to understand long-term changes in ice. This year, photos submitted by the public will be sent directly to the National Weather Service to help predict flooding and issue warnings to communities.

To participate, 有料盒子视频ns can submit pictures of river and lake ice to with location information and a brief description of conditions. Every community should be prepared for the potential of ice-jam flooding, and the observations made by citizens can provide critical information to forecasters and emergency management officials.
