Your photos can help disaster response teams track conditions on the ground. This summer and fall, NASA invites the public to participate in a new citizen science effort called NASA Response Mappers. The project is a collaboration between the NASA Disasters Program’s Disaster Response Coordination System (DRCS) and the GLOBE Program, short for Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment. If you live in the Southeastern region of United States, you can help fill vital information gaps by submitting land cover photos before and after hurricanes using your smartphone. Participation is easy, safe, and meaningful. Your contributions could ultimately help emergency managers make faster and better-informed decisions when it matters most and strengthen your community’s ability to respond and recover from disasters.
