Angela Pablo and I are moving forward with the aforementioned project for our Urban Computing Final. And we have a name (thanks to Kate Bauer), Under The Level. For us it signifies multiple meanings, under the water level, under the consciousness level.....etc.

We have decided to focus our attention on the areas of Manhattan east of 1st avenue between Houston and 14th street and Williamsburg Brooklyn (both of which would be significantly affected by a raise in sea-level followed by a flood). We have a preliminary design for the sticker. It will be slightly different, probably identifying the neighborhood in New Orleans where that area of New York would be comparable to in terms of destruction.

We will be setting up an asterisk number for people to call in to with an extension that will correspond to a message that lists the conditions at that location (i.e. 10 feet under water for three days, buildings destroyed, 10 animals found dead, four people)

The URL will be an interface comparing the specific neighborhoods directly....with pictures of the location in New York side by side with the location it corresponds to in New Orleans. I am currently developing the interface for the site now.
