NGS Collects Emergency Response Imagery of Hurricane Lee


      October 2, 2023

NGS collected aerial images in the aftermath of Hurricane Lee 
<https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/news/sep23/ngs-storm-imagery-lee.html>. 
The crew flew over more than 4,566 square kilometers and collected 1,482 
images in 9.2 hours. The imagery was collected in specific, 
NOAA-identified, and Federal Emergency Management Agency-assigned areas 
in coordination with other federal agencies and impacted states. Aerial 
imagery is a cost-effective way to better understand both property and 
environmental damage. The imagery is used to determine the extent of 
flood and storm damage to major ports and waterways, coastlines, 
critical infrastructure, and coastal communities. NOAA's aerial imagery 
also assists with safe navigation. NGS delivers the imagery through this 
website <https://storms.ngs.noaa.gov/>, which supports both the general 
public’s needs and advanced applications.
