allowed for an immediate assessment 65 00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:16,870 it allowed for an immediate assessment of the hardest hit areas in south dake 66 00:01:16,870 --> 00:01:16,880 of the hardest hit areas in south dake 67 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,910 of the hardest hit areas in south dake county the digital data that we acquired 68 00:01:19,910 --> 00:01:19,920 county the digital data that we acquired 69 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,630 county the digital data that we acquired will be useful later on in the context 70 00:01:22,630 --> 00:01:22,640 will be useful later on in the context 71

00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,550 assessment teams could get in the field prioritize the areas to go to and go to 86 00:01:44,550 --> 00:01:44,560 prioritize the areas to go to and go to 87 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,789 prioritize the areas to go to and go to those hardest hit areas first 88 00:01:46,789 --> 00:01:46,799 those hardest hit areas first 89 00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:48,550 those hardest hit areas first florida officials use the aerial 90 00:01:48,550 --> 00:01:48,560 florida officials use the aerial 91 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,550 florida officials use the aerial photography to assess the amount of 92 00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:50,560 photography to assess the amount of 93 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,429 photography to assess the amount of damage in dollars and to determine which 94 00:01:53,429 --> 00:01:53,439 damage in dollars and to determine which 95 00:01:53,439 --> 00:01:55,749 damage in dollars and to determine which areas had been the hardest hit 96 00:01:55,749 --> 00:01:55,759 areas had been the hardest hit 97 00:01:55,759 --> 00:01:57,670 areas had been the hardest hit so that relief efforts could be 98 00:01:57,670 --> 00:01:57,680 so that relief efforts could be 99 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,429 so that relief efforts could be prioritized 100 00:01:59,429 --> 00:01:59,439 prioritized 101 00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:01,830 prioritized when davis compared

laid over in the direction of the wind and that all we really have 204 00:03:53,030 --> 00:03:53,040 the wind and that all we really have 205 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,430 the wind and that all we really have left here are some short low-lying 206 00:03:55,430 --> 00:03:55,440 left here are some short low-lying 207 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,270 left here are some short low-lying grasses 208 00:03:57,270 --> 00:03:57,280 grasses 209 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,949 grasses the mangrove forests are important 210 00:03:58,949 --> 00:03:58,959 the mangrove forests are important 211 00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:01,110 the mangrove forests are important because they form a natural buffer 212 00:04:01,110 --> 00:04:01,120 because they form a natural buffer 213 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,589 because they form a natural buffer against tidal surges which are driven in 214 00:04:03,589 --> 00:04:03,599 against tidal surges which are driven in 215 00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:05,990 against tidal surges which are driven in by hurricanes and the high winds they 216 00:04:05,990 --> 00:04:06,000 by hurricanes and the high winds they 217 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,390 by hurricanes and the high winds they protect communities that lie inland from 218 00:04:08,390 --> 00:04:08,400 protect communities that lie inland from 219 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:09,910 protect communities that lie inland from coastal areas 220 00:04:09,910 --> 00:04:09,920 coastal areas 221 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,910 coastal areas color infrared photography and digital 222 00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:11,920 color infrared photography and digital 223 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,309 color infrared photography and digital scanner imagery are important tools in 224 00:04:14,309 --> 00:04:14,319 scanner imagery are important tools in 225 00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:16,789 scanner imagery are important tools in disaster assessment both are crucial in 226 00:04:16,789 --> 00:04:16,799 disaster assessment both are crucial in 227 00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:18,789 disaster assessment both are crucial in solving immediate problems but the 228 00:04:18,789 --> 00:04:18,799 solving immediate problems but the 229 00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:21,189 solving immediate problems but the digital data will be used for long-term 230 00:04:21,189 --> 00:04:21,199 digital data will be used for long-term 231 00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:22,469 digital data will be used for long-term planning 232 00:04:22,469 --> 00:04:22,479 planning 233 00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:24,870 planning this digital imagery differs from this 234 00:04:24,870 --> 00:04:24,880 this digital imagery differs from this 235 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,950 this digital imagery differs from this color infrared photography in that it is 236 00:04:26,950 --> 00:04:26,960 color infrared photography in that it is 237 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,469 color infrared photography in that it is digital in nature 238 00:04:28,469 --> 00:04:28,479 digital in nature 239 00:04:28,479 --> 00:04:31,590 digital in nature and can be incorporated as computer maps 240 00:04:31,590 --> 00:04:31,600 and can be incorporated as computer maps 241 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,070 and can be incorporated as computer maps which will enable 242 00:04:34,070 --> 00:04:34,080 which will enable 243 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,270 which will enable local government officials to overlay 244 00:04:37,270 --> 00:04:37,280 local government officials to overlay 245 00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:41,510 local government officials to overlay other types of maps onto it and assess 246 00:04:41,510 --> 00:04:41,520 other types of maps onto it and assess 247 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,350 other types of maps onto it and assess the type of let's say zoning 248 00:04:45,350 --> 00:04:45,360 the type of let's say zoning 249 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,270 the type of let's say zoning flood district 250 00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:47,280 flood district 251 00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:49,749 flood district network power utilities so forth and so 252 00:04:49,749 --> 00:04:49,759 network power utilities so forth and so 253 00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:52,950 network power utilities so forth and so on on this imagery and see where did the 254 00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:52,960 on on this imagery and see where did the 255 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,310 on on this imagery and see where did the damage occur 256 00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:54,320 damage occur 257 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,469 damage occur how can they change their policies to 258 00:04:56,469 --> 00:04:56,479 how can they change their policies to 259 00:04:56,479 --> 00:04:57,430 how can they change their policies to then 260 00:04:57,430 --> 00:04:57,440 then 261 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,590 then prevent as much damage as occurring the 262 00:04:59,590 --> 00:04:59,600 prevent as much damage as occurring the 263 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,110 prevent as much damage as occurring the next time 264 00:05:01,110 --> 00:05:01,120 next time 265 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,749 next time what i'm particularly proud of is the 266 00:05:03,749 --> 00:05:03,759 what i'm particularly proud of is the 267 00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:05,909 what i'm particularly proud of is the fact that we responded very quickly to 268 00:05:05,909 --> 00:05:05,919 fact that we responded very quickly to 269 00:05:05,919 --> 00:05:07,990 fact that we responded very quickly to the governor's request 270 00:05:07,990 --> 00:05:08,000 the governor's request 271 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,909 the governor's request and that we were able to put useful 272 00:05:09,909 --> 00:05:09,919 and that we were able to put useful 273 00:05:09,919 --> 00:05:11,110 and that we were able to put useful information 274 00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:11,120 information 275 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,790 information in his hands in a very rapid manner when 276 00:05:14,790 --> 00:05:14,800 in his hands in a very rapid manner when 277 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,670 in his hands in a very rapid manner when time was critical nasa was there sharing 278 00:05:17,670 --> 00:05:17,680 time was critical nasa was there sharing 279 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,909 time was critical nasa was there sharing space developed technology to help in 280 00:05:19,909 --> 00:05:19,919 space developed technology to help in 281 00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:21,830 space developed technology to help in hurricane relief efforts 282 00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:21,840 hurricane relief efforts 283 00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:24,390 hurricane relief efforts this assistance continues as the state 284 00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:24,400 this assistance continues as the state 285 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,029 this assistance continues as the state looks for ways to rebuild communities 286 00:05:27,029 --> 00:05:27,039 looks for ways to rebuild communities 287 00:05:27,039 --> 00:05:28,950 looks for ways to rebuild communities left destroyed 288 00:05:28,950 --> 00:05:28,960 left
