NOAA’s National Geodetic Survey (NGS) is collecting aerial damage assessment images following the devastating flooding in the Texas Hill Country in the early hours of Friday, July 4, 2025. Imagery is collected by NOAA aircraft in specific areas 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 is a crucial tool to determine the extent of the damage inflicted by flooding. 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 Florida-based Twin Otter airplanes.
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 officers of the NOAA Commissioned Corps and civilian scientists, engineers, maintainers and mariners.
