3. Tropical Storm Isaias Damage Assessment Imagery

**August 2020: Tropical Storm Isaias**  National Geodetic Survey damage assessment imagery available online. Tropical Storm Isaias, seen here by GOES East on Aug. 3, 2020, at 7:30 a.m. ET *Tropical Storm Isaias, seen here by NOAA's GOES East satellite on August 3, 2020, at 7:30 a.m. EDT.* *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 commissioned officers of the NOAA Corps and civilian wage mariners.*
 From Aug. 3-5, the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) collected aerial damage assessment images of areas affected by Tropical Storm Isaias. Imagery was collected in specific areas identified by NOAA in coordination with the U.S. Coast Guard.  Collected images are available to view onlinevia the NGS aerial imagery viewer. View tips on how to use the imagery viewer. **Available Imagery**  View NOAA Emergency Response Imagery collected on the following days: **Aug. 3**: Over the Florida coast from Fort Lauderdale to Daytona Beach that included additional coverage of Fort Pierce, Palm Beach, and the Intracoastal Waterway.
			
				**Aug. 4**: Outer coast from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, to Charleston, South Carolina, as well as the ports of Wilmington, North Carolina, and Charleston, South Carolina.
				
				**Aug. 5**: From Hatteras, North Carolina, to Cape Henry, Virginia, with expanded coverage of Hatteras Inlet and Oregon Inlet, North Carolina.   NOAA's aerial imagery aids safe navigation and captures damage to coastal areas caused by a storm. Aerial imagery is a crucial tool to determine the extent of the damage inflicted by flooding, and to assess the damage to major ports and waterways, coastlines, critical infrastructure, and coastal communities. This imagery provides a cost-effective way to better understand the damage sustained to both property and the environment.
