AWS CLI

Once installed, the AWS CLI can be used like this to BULK download a snapshot of the an entire CAP Event or just one Team within the Event
For an entire Event
aws s3 sync s3://fema-cap-imagery/Images/<event id>>/ ./
or for an entire work of a Mission (sortie) within an Event
aws s3 sync s3://fema-cap-imagery/Images/<event id>// ./

In the above examples:
replace <event id> with the Numeric Event Id
replace <mission id> with the Numeric Mission Id

Event Id 2024 - LA - March Flooding 16 2016-03-01
Mission Id 100538 - A0013

replacing the text the command to type in becomes
aws s3 sync s3://fema-cap-imagery/Images/2024/100538/ ./

Searching the Image Index

The Image Index is a geopackage file. It can be ready by R, Python3, ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, the sqlite3 command and other tools

The core tables are

events - a list of Event Ids, Event Names, and Event Dates
missions - a list of Event Mission Ids, and Mission Dates
images - metadata on each photo available in the collection

The images table can be used to extract the individual links to the photos

SELECT imageURL FROM images WHERE ImageEventId = 2024 AND ImageMissionId = 100538;

How to use the links file

The image links button creates a CSV file of the links in the content display.
The file can be used by a number of tools to bulk download the images.

WGet

wget -i <urls.csv>

PowerShell

ps < "gc urls.csv | % { iwr $_ -outf $(split-path $_ -leaf)} "
