GT-RNOC Co-Director Russ Clark traveled to Chatham County this week to deploy sea-level sensors as part of the Georgia Smart Communities Challenge. The City of Tybee Island and Chatham Emergency Management Agency assisted with the deployment, while IMTC researchers Peter Presti and Scott Gilliland helped to prepare the test sensors. The sensor network will measure sea level flood risk and inform government and other key stakeholder in real-time during natural disasters and storms. #GeorgiaSmart
