NOAA’s National Geodetic Survey is collecting aerial damage assessment images following Hurricane Erin. Imagery is collected by NOAA aircraft in specific areas identified by NOAA in coordination with federal and state 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. This imagery — which provides a cost-effective way to better understand the damage sustained to both property and the environment — is captured by state-of-the-art equipment aboard NOAA’s specially outfitted Beechcraft King Air 360 airplane.
