Residents impacted by the Southern California wildfires can now access information about the status of their property through CAL FIRE's damage inspection maps. While inspections are ongoing, information—including images—is being uploaded daily to keep communities informed.
These resources can help residents begin working with insurers and planning their next steps.

Go Team Go! Photomappers help fill gaps in situational awareness before response teams are able to safely access impacted areas. Join us @GISCorps. #PhotoMappers #VirtualVolunteers #GISforGood #GISCorps

These photos of damage from #Helene are devastating. It is inspiring to see everyone coming together to help these communities & support the response, including digital vols who have mapped over 230 photos of damage across 8 states. @GISCorps @CEDRdigital #PhotoMappers
PhotoMappers has activated for Hurricane Helene, and 24 volunteers are working diligently to geolocate and validate images of the damage in FL, GA, and the Carolinas to assist in disaster response as Helene moves across the Southeastern U.S.! #GISforGood #disasterresponse
During Hurricane Francine, our PhotoMappers volunteers geolocated & validated 92 images in 24 hours to provide early situational awareness to first responders & emergency personnel. Thank you to all of our amazing PhotoMappers volunteers who joined this activation! #GISforGood
