The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) is collecting aerial damage assessment images of coastal areas in the aftermath of Hurricane Isaias. Imagery is collected in specific areas by NOAA aircraft, identified by NOAA in coordination with FEMA and other state and federal partners.
Collected NOAA Emergency Response Imagery is available below and new imagery will be posted as soon as it is available. View tips on how to use the aerial imagery viewer.
NOAA's aerial imagery captures damage to coastal areas caused by a storm and aids safe navigation. Aerial imagery is a crucial tool to determine the extent of the damage inflicted by the hurricane, and to compare baseline coastal areas to assess the damage to major ports and waterways, coastlines, critical infrastructure, and coastal communities. This imagery provides a cost-effective way to better understand the damage sustained to both property and the environment.
NOAA's National Geodetic Survey is the U.S. Government source for precise latitude, longitude, and elevation measurements. The NOAA fleet of ships and aircraft is operated, managed, and maintained by the NOAA Office of Marine and Aviation Operations, which includes commissioned officers of the NOAA Corps and civilian wage mariners.
