Utilizing unmanned aircraft systems, U.S. Army Corps

description

Summary

Utilizing unmanned aircraft systems, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers personnel are able to assess roof damage while undertaking Operation Blue Roof following Hurricane Michael in the Florida panhandle. This image was taken of a home in Panama City Beach, and highlights one of several ways drones are being used to estimate resources needed to make a repair and verify installations are done correctly. Utilizing several models of UAS, Corps of Engineers employees have been able to safely get a look at individual homes and quickly gather troves of data on large neighborhoods. Operation Blue Roof offers a more durable, professionally-installed reinforced plastic sheeting until homeowners can make arrangements for permanent repairs. (USACE photo by: Chris Ford)

Weldon Spring, Mo., June 5, 2013 -- A home struck by a tornado on the evening of May 31, 2013 tore away the living room wall and roof. FEMA and the State of Missouri are doing Preliminary Damage Assessments (PDA) in the areas hit by a tornado. PDA is a joint assessment used to determine the magnitude and impact of an event's damage. The State uses the results of the PDA to determine if the situation is beyond the combined capabilities of the State and local resources and to verify the need for supplemental Federal assistance.
