Use the Photo Survey Type to submit “photo-only” surveys (i.e. surveys that contain only photos and descriptive information about those photos). Examples of photo subjects include the devastation caused by the hazard, the FRF distribution site, the FRF Response Team at work, partner organizations, or beneficiaries receiving fuel. The best photos are those that include several of the subjects listed above, for example, an FRF responder handing a full fuel can to a beneficiary in front of their hurricane-damaged home.
There are two ways to take photos for a Photo Survey in Survey123:
1. Photos can be taken using your mobile device’s native camera app and then uploaded to a Survey 123 Photo Survey; or
2. Photos can be taken through the Survey123 app itself
To take a photo with the Survey123 app, open the Deployment Survey, select “Photo” under “Survey Type”, and then click on the camera icon (see image to the right). The app’s screen will then change to a typical camera screen where you can view what is in your camera’s frame.
Camera
Take/Upload Multiple Photos
To upload a photo to Survey123 which you have taken using your device’s native camera app, follow the same steps, but select the folder icon (see image to the right) instead of the camera icon. This will enable you to select a photo from the device’s library.
Either way, you can add as many photos in a single survey as you like. Once you have taken or uploaded a photo, a plus icon on the camera or folder appears (see image to the left). Click on either of these to add more photos.
Folder
Regardless of how you take them, it is important to submit all photos through Survey123 rather than sharing them via text or photo sharing apps. This is not just because it is easier for HQ to locate photos this way, it’s because photos submitted through Survey123 have location data (the place where the photo was taken) whereas those shared through other apps may be stripped of their geotags. Therefore, to ensure that photo location data is available and correct, 1) submit all photos through Survey123 and, if you are submitting those surveys retroactively, 2) manually adjust the location of the survey to the location where the photo was taken.
Reminder: you should always ask for permission when photographing people, especially beneficiaries.
