Saving a Wildfire Map Screenshot That Remains Useful

Keep source, date, legend and location together when sharing a map with a property adviser.

Keep the context in the image

A cropped red patch is hard to interpret. When saving a planning map, include the legend, source name, approximate location and the date you viewed it. Record the map layer and its data date if the publisher provides one. These details help the recipient understand what you are asking about.

Explain the question in plain language

Add a short note describing the property concern. For example, identify the rear slope, the main residence or a proposed building site. State whether you want help locating a resource or assessing conditions on the ground. Do not add private access codes or unrelated personal information to a widely shared image.
