FLOODVIEW

Geo-tagged flood ground truthing. Every photo records where you stand, where the camera looks, its ground footprint, and what the water is doing.

Needs: Camera · GPS · Compass

⚠ Stay safe. Never wade into moving water: 15 cm of fast water can knock an adult over, and 30 cm can carry a car away. Tag from dry ground; the crosshair records the spot you aim at, not just where you stand.
How it works: aim at the scene and tap FLOODED, WATERLOGGED or DRY. One tap saves the photo with its class and your tags (depth, flow, trend, what's flooded). Turn on Edge and put the crosshair on the waterline to trace the flood boundary.

After the flood? Choose After flood when you start a survey to record flood marks, damage and places that stayed dry.

When you're done, export a ZIP from the Data tab and open it in the Explorer.

📏 Height of the phone above the ground, or above the water surface if you're standing in water, on a boat or on a bridge. Standing ≈ 1.4–1.6 m. It scales the footprint and where the crosshair lands, and you can change it later in the Data tab.

Marks the flood boundary. Put the crosshair on the waterline: FloodView stores the point where it lands, so you can tag the edge from a safe distance.
