At the Governor’s Conference exhibit hall in West Palm Beach, Dylan Faraone, Regional Director of Mosaic, showcased his work using a 360-degree camera mounted on his car to document the aftermath of major storms, including Hurricane Ian’s impact on Southwest Florida.

Faraone’s car, equipped with a 360-degree camera, is a mobile mapping tool that captures detailed images of storm-damaged areas.

These images are used for academic purposes, providing a historical record of the impact of hurricanes and other natural disasters.

In an interview with WINK News reporter Emma Heaton, Faraone explained that his interest in 360-degree camera technology led him to document natural disasters, including hurricanes, fires, floods, and tornadoes.

His work aims to not only showcase the devastation caused by these events but also highlight structures that withstand such disasters, providing valuable insights for future building designs and disaster preparedness strategies.

Faraone’s documentation of Hurricane Ian’s aftermath included areas like Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, and St. James City, revealing widespread devastation and the resilience of certain structures.
