Abstract
The Joint Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise (JALBTCX) deployed to support regional-scale post-storm damage assessments following Hurricanes Irma (2017), Maria (2017), and Michael (2018) for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) following Hurricanes Matthew (2016) and Florence (2018). The JALBTCX has a long history of providing regional coastal surveys after storm impacts in the United States. These high-resolution, regional datasets extend beyond project boundaries, providing critical data to quantify large-scale impacts associated with storm events. These regional datasets directly support missions within the USACE, other federal agencies, academia, and the broader coastal community.
