This draft page is attempting to create a workflow for people to identify reportable issues captured in aerial photography of Harvey-affected areas, specifically industrial sites. _Photo: SC National Guard (170831-Z-AH923-081) \[Public domain\], via Wikimedia Commons_ ## Basic needs for imagery reporting 1. **Collect images** (from various sources) -- do a call for images ([like this for Harvey](https://publiclab.org/notes/warren/09-12-2017/what-are-some-sources-of-new-aerial-imagery-of-harvey-damages)) 2. **Make a list of image URLs for each image set** ([like this spreadsheet for Harvey](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12ZMti2lH4sST6Apzp_DeCQld4z4ioTmm7LdFiF8fK4A/edit#gid=1)) 3. **Sort through each image entry for possible pollution incidents** (using [guidance on image ID](https://publiclab.org/notes/warren/09-12-2017/how-do-i-identify-an-oil-sheen-or-spill-or-slick-in-aerial-photography)) & take notes on each image in a consistent format ([like this for Harvey](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12ZMti2lH4sST6Apzp_DeCQld4z4ioTmm7LdFiF8fK4A/edit#gid=1)) 4. **Submit this list to GRN and/or other partner** (for Harvey, GRN is just watching the spreadsheet) OR report directly to various agencies (need instructions on how to report) See the below resources to begin [turning these into activities](/post?tags=activity:harvey,hurricanes,activity:hurricanes,activity:disaster-response,disaster-response,harvey,image-sorting). --------- ### Potential partners Let's brainstorm some partners to work on this and future disaster responses with. See the [main harvey page](/wiki/harvey) too for **Groups**. **Add other possible partners here (you'll need to be logged in)** [prompt:text:Add partners here] **** # Resources For the steps outlined above. **** ### Compile image sources (largely complete for now, asked as a question) Gather satellite or aerial images -- before and after may be needed. Also see compiled imagery sources in this question: https://publiclab.org/notes/warren/09-12-2017/what-are-some-sources-of-new-aerial-imagery-of-harvey-damages * [NOAA Harvey Images](https://storms.ngs.noaa.gov/storms/harvey/index.html) * [TX National Resources Information Center -"before" images](https://tnris.org/data-download/#!/statewide) * [The Texas General Land Office -"before" images](http://www.glo.texas.gov/land/land-management/gis/aerials/index.html) * [USGS Earth Explorer Tool-possibly "both" images](https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov/) * Related: Irma: https://storms.ngs.noaa.gov/storms/irma/index.html (see [Irma page](/wiki/irma)) **** ### Examine images for flooding/damages Check through images for listed locations--in some cases you can see sheen or waste Use this [guide on visual oil identification](https://publiclab.org/notes/warren/09-12-2017/how-do-i-identify-an-oil-sheen-or-spill-or-slick-in-aerial-photography) and [this example image of flaring](https://www.flickr.com/photos/healthygulf/36702612840/in/album-72157686333870693/) * Images may have meta data with GPS aligned with plane location instead of site location * Flooded or suspicious locations should be compiled in a spreadsheet for report * Do screen capture of the footage to attach to report * Check to see who owns imagery, which may impact who needs to receive report * Compare location to list of industrial sites ### Industrial sites in TX Gather/compile lists of at-risk sites in TX (oil refineries, sewage, nuclear etc.) * Main source: [Surging Seas: Risk Finder](https://riskfinder.climatecentral.org/) -EPA tool allows coastline reports by state and specific risk (ex. oil refineries) * [Harvey Ecological Hazards Map](https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1U6a8CNO_OcT-bcb-UxgsXNYxW7M&shorturl=1&ll=28.89761085741851%2C-95.62893699999995&z=7) * [Gulf Restoration Network Map of Oil](https://gulfwetlandsmap.carto.com/viz/06bb2c4a-89d2-11e7-8a08-0ee462b5436c/public_map) * [Sierra Club Map of Toxic Sites Harvey](http://www.sierraclub.org/environmental-justice/hurricane-harvey-toxic-sites) * [List of Texas Landfills](https://www.tceq.texas.gov/assets/public/permitting/waste/msw/msw-landfills-active.pdf) * [Texas Commission on Environmental Quality - Data Tool](https://www.tceq.texas.gov/agency/data/lookup-data/environmental-quality-data-records) * Longer list in responses to this question: https://publiclab.org/notes/warren/09-12-2017/where-are-people-compiling-lists-of-potential-pollution-sites-following-hurricane-harvey * Source information for facilities https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7ipKYaoi-eYMFMwZU1qZm94d1U/view?usp=sharing * https://gulfwetlandsmap.carto.com/viz/c827e7ac-e17a-4a83-a3b6-4e075f4172c6/embed_map **Add other sources here (you'll need to be logged in)** [prompt:text:Add site here] **** ### Questions [questions:harvey] **** **** # Uploading screenshots These are extra steps for the [NOAA Harvey image compiling activity](https://publiclab.org/notes/warren/09-20-2017/compile-screenshots-and-urls-for-aerial-images-of-harvey-damages-in-a-spreadsheet-for-reporting) ### 1\. Take a screenshot Take a screenshot of any site from the above lists, or any industrial site you can see where flooding may have caused issues. Example: ![screenshot 2](https://publiclab.org/system/images/photos/000/021/715/medium/Screenshot_2017-09-20_at_10.39.02_AM.png) ### 2\. Upload the screenshot Upload the screenshot to this folder on this public Google Drive: [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B1HdcMKx0evKN0tPUEhzTG1KVkU](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B1HdcMKx0evKN0tPUEhzTG1KVkU) You can copy a link to that image by right clicking on it or by selecting it and choosing `Get shareable link`: ![screenshot 4](https://publiclab.org/system/images/photos/000/021/718/medium/Screenshot_2017-09-20_at_11.06.10_AM.png) You can also upload images as a comment on this page. Remember to save the link to the photo to add to the spreadsheet. If it's a comment, you can click on the time, i.e. `1 minute ago` next to the comment header to get a direct link to that comment, as in this screenshot: ![screenshot 3](https://publiclab.org/system/images/photos/000/021/716/large/Screenshot_2017-09-20_at_10.44.49_AM.png) If you got here from the [NOAA Harvey image compiling activity](https://publiclab.org/notes/warren/09-20-2017/compile-screenshots-and-urls-for-aerial-images-of-harvey-damages-in-a-spreadsheet-for-reporting), you can return there and resume at **Step 2**. **** ### More resources video explaining, maybe, what could be done (bad audio?)
