One key step to good incident observation is taking photographs of the scene. The photos are one of the best ways to demonstrate the extent of damage sustained from an incident. Incident commanders, insurance adjusters, FEMA representatives, and property owners will all get a better idea of conditions with photographs. Keep in mind that you are simply trying to preserve evidence, not win photography awards. The built-in camera from a mobile device will capture details. Also, the built-in watermark will add a timestamp and detailed location to each photo that will link your photos to the location. | One key step to good incident observation is taking photographs of the scene.
