Photo Survey

This item has been retired. Please see What's new for more information.

Overview

Photo Survey is a configuration of ArcGIS combined with a JavaScript application that can be used by emergency response organizations to publish aerial and street-level photo collections and conduct surveys that identify damaged areas and structures within the images.

Photo Survey expedites damage assessments by leveraging photos produced by many commercially available cameras. It combines these photos with a series of questions in the form of an online survey and associates the answers to points or administrative units on the ground.

The simple to use application will enable emergency operations staff, and optionally the general public, to review time sensitive images after a disaster, thus allowing emergency response organizations to quickly estimate damage costs and determine potential financial impacts of an event.
