The flights collected data on coastal and inland water extent, providing critical awareness of flooding and flood damage in areas that have been challenging to obtain satellite observations due to cloud-cover. These data contributed to FEMA and state partner’s operational awareness of conditions in the region, aiding their response efforts and resource deployment. <a href="https://maps.disasters.nasa.gov/arcgis/home/item.html?id=085a909a254644fabed8a6035958428c">OPERA Dynamic Surface Water eXtent (DSWx) maps</a>, <a href="https://maps.disasters.nasa.gov/arcgis/home/item.html?id=86d6a635d2b24ae092d751fc45a03a05">Copernicus Sentinel 1 flood extent maps</a>, and NASA/USGS <a href="https://maps.disasters.nasa.gov/arcgis/home/item.html?id=fabf5bf821fc4b41b2003f65bf67cf78">Landsat 8 & 9 optical imagery</a> have also contributed to partners’ awareness of water extent and flooding in the region.</p> <p><iframe src="https://maps.disasters.nasa.gov/arcgis/apps/dashboards/237b4ce419be40ec900c1c2e4e9996f7" style="width:100%;height:650px;"></iframe></p> <p><span class="caption"><em>This interactive maps shows UAVSAR data from the area surrounding St. Johns River, Florida, which saw flooding from Hurricane Milton.

Oct. 9, bringing destructive tornadoes, wind damage, flooding and storm surge. As Florida communities face these impacts, the Disasters Response Coordination System is working closely with FEMA and state emergency management agencies to support their response efforts.</p> <p>The DRCS continues to attend interagency coordination calls to assess needs from response partners, and to share Earth observation maps and data on the <a href="https://maps.disasters.nasa.gov/arcgis/apps/MinimalGallery/index.html?appid=081982abfd5f4732b45df6db9f6de35e">NASA Disasters Mapping Portal</a> and the Hurricane Milton <a href="https://maps.disasters.nasa.gov/arcgis/apps/storymaps/stories/8976aaa881e04095b774e8e59a726bc0">StoryMap</a> as it becomes available.</p> <p>The DRCS is also working with NASA’s Airborne Science Program to <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/general/nasa-activates-resources-to-help-assess-impacts-from-hurricane-milton/">conduct a series of flights</a> Friday and throughout the weekend to provide awareness of flooding in Florida in the wake of Hurricane Milton.</p> <p>NASA’s <a href="https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/uninhabited-aerial-vehicle-synthetic-aperture-radar-uavsar/">Uninhabited Aerial Synthetic Aperture Radar Vehicle</a> (UAVSAR) instrument will collect rapid, wide-area L-Band synthetic aperture radar data across the region. The data and derived water extents which will be shared directly with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and state emergency management agencies to support their response efforts. The DRCS are directing the flights in coordination with FEMA to enhance their existing satellite and aerial data collection.</p> <p>Since Hurricane Milton struck, persistent cloud cover over Florida has made it difficult to obtain optical satellite observations of the region’s conditions. Synthetic aperture radar instruments, like those on UAVSAR, can penetrate the clouds to observe changes on the ground. This provides essential observations of flood inundation across Florida communities and the extent of inland river flooding, aiding response teams in assessing damage and allocating resources.</p> <h3 style="margin-top: 16px;"> </h3> <h3 style="margin-top: 16px;">UPDATE OCT. 9, 2024</h3> <p>As Hurricane Milton approaches central Florida, the <a href="https://disasters.nasa.gov/response">Disasters Response Coordination System</a> (DRCS) continues to work closely with FEMA and other response agencies, providing NASA science and data to inform their efforts.</p> <figure role="group" class="caption caption-drupal-entity align-center"><div alt="Satellite map showing nightime lights in Florida with Hurricane Milton approaching." data-embed-button="image" data-entity-embed-display="entity_reference:media_thumbnail" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{"image_style":"wysiwyg_large","image_link":"media","image_loading":{"attribute":"lazy"}}" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="8abbf8b7-64eb-4a12-8034-1617777a1bf0" data-langcode="en" class="embedded-entity"> <a href="https://appliedsciences.nasa.gov//media/12171" hreflang="en"><img src="https://appliedsciences.nasa.gov//sites/default/files/styles/wysiwyg_large/public/NASAblackMarble_Milton_Oct9_2024.png.webp?itok=ydvYMeaW" width="850" height="559" alt="Satellite map showing nightime lights in Florida with Hurricane Milton approaching." loading="lazy" typeof="foaf:Image" class="image-style-wysiwyg-large" /></a> </div> <figcaption><em>NASA Black Marble Blue/Yellow Composite imagery showing nighttime lights as Hurricane Milton approaches Florida, created using NASA/NOAA Suomi-NPP satellite data from Oct. 9, 2024.

Milton is currently a Category 4 storm tracking toward central Florida and is anticipated to make landfall Wednesday night. Forecasts indicate the storm will bring destructive winds, flooding, and storm surge to communities in Florida, impacting a region that is still recovering from the damage caused by Hurricane Helene just two weeks ago. The DRCS is also continuing its efforts supporting response and recovery in the southern U.S. for <a href="https://appliedsciences.nasa.gov/what-we-do/disasters/disasters-activations/hurricane-helene-2024">Helene</a>.</p> <p>DRCS team members are participating in coordination calls with agency partners to assess needs and are sharing pre-event maps and imagery on the <a href="https://maps.disasters.nasa.gov/arcgis/apps/MinimalGallery/index.html?appid=081982abfd5f4732b45df6db9f6de35e">NASA Disasters Mapping Portal</a> to aid situational awareness and equip decision-makers with the best available information to prepare for Milton’s impacts.</p> <p>This pre-event coordination is essential, as the compounding effects of two sequential disasters can complicate response and recovery efforts for both emergency managers and local communities. Debris from Helene and damage to coastal barriers could increase communities' vulnerability to storm surge and high winds. Additionally, <a href="https://maps.disasters.nasa.gov/arcgis/home/item.html?id=e76dd4aee55e4fc0b9279290baec6629">soil moisture levels</a> in many areas of Florida are still high from the heavy rainfall brought by Helene, which makes flooding more likely as the ground is not able to absorb as much water.</p> <figure role="group" class="caption caption-drupal-entity align-center"><div alt="A satellite map of Hurricane Milton in the Gulf of Mexico, a large swirling mass of white clouds.
