By taking photos of an area before a natural disaster strikes, you establish a baseline of pre-existing conditions. These photos can later be used for comparison purposes to assess the extent of damage caused by the disaster.

During the disaster, your camera becomes your eyes, capturing the ongoing destruction and impact on buildings, infrastructure, and the surrounding environment. These images can help prioritize rescue and recovery efforts, as well as provide valuable information for insurance claims and reconstruction planning.

Your post-disaster photos can also play a crucial role in future disaster mitigation strategies. By showcasing the extent of damage and providing visual evidence, you contribute to a better understanding of the impact of natural disasters and help shape more effective mitigation measures.
