- Abstract
- This field campaign, undertaken in the aftermath of Hurricane Charley, was funded by the National Science Foundation, the Natural Hazards Research and Applications Information Center, and the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER). It presented the research team with a unique opportunity to collect perishable damage survey data that will support subsequent research aimed at improving the effectiveness of disaster response activities using satellite remote sensing technology.
