EagleView Delivers 1-Inch GSD Post-Storm Imagery in the Wake of Hurricane Francine
Like many following the path of Hurricane Francine, our thoughts are with the affected communities and the many individuals working tirelessly on recovery efforts. The storm impacted communities in southern Louisiana and will require recovery and rebuilding efforts. Emergency management personnel, government agencies, energy providers, insurance companies, property managers, and other critical sectors are rapidly assessing where the most critical help is needed.
EagleView’s Disaster Response Program (DRP) is dedicated to supporting these efforts with pre- and post-event imagery. Since the inception of the DRP, EagleView has quickly mobilized its fleet to capture detailed orthogonal (top-down, 90-degree angle) and oblique (side view, 40-50-degree angled) aerial imagery as soon as weather conditions allow. In the wake of Hurricane Francine, EagleView had planes in the air to capture 1-inch GSD aerial imagery of the storm’s damage.
EagleView’s 1-inch GSD imagery delivers 9 times more pixel data than traditional 3-inch GSD imagery and up to 70 times more pixel data than commercially available satellite imagery. This industry-leading clarity provides unparalleled accuracy for critical decision-making in disaster recovery and beyond.
Sample imagery captured by EagleView reveals damage in affected areas:
Access to this imagery is being rolled out to customers as soon as it becomes available. Due to Hurricane Francine’s impact, EagleView is also extending its imagery beyond its usual customer base to assist more organizations in need. A selection of this imagery is also available for media use by contacting mediarelations@eagleview.com.
We remain in close communication with our customers in affected counties and our thoughts are with those impacted by the storm. If your organization needs access to Hurricane Francine imagery to support recovery efforts, please contact us.
