Title: Biloxi, MS and Pascagoula, MS: Hurricane Katrina Aftermath

Landsat 7 satellite data acquired 11/08/2004 and Landsat 7 satellite data acquired 9/08/2005: These Landsat 7 satellite images show damage from Hurricane Katrina along the Mississippi Gulf coast from Biloxi, Mississippi to the edge of Mobile, Alabama. The bottom image, acquired on September 8, 2005, in comparison to the same area in 2004, reveals how the brunt force of the hurricane not only affected the coastline, but also reached the inland areas of the Pascagoula River

Title: Hurricane Katrina Damage Assessments

The damage assessment data and flooded and saturated areas shown on the map were generated by FEMA. Catastrophic Damage is defined as most solid and all light or mobile structures destroyed. Extensive Damage has some solid structures destroyed; most sustain exterior and interior damage (e.g., roofs missing, interior walls exposed); most mobile homes and light structures are destroyed. Moderate Damage shows solid structures sustaining exterior damage (e.g., missing roofs or roof segments); some mobile homes and light structures are destroyed, many are damaged or displaced. Limited Damage is defined as generally superficial damage to solid structures (e.g., loss of tiles or roof shingles); some mobile homes and light structures are damaged or displaced. All data is projected to UTM, Zone 16, WGS84.

Title: Hurricane Katrina Flooding

The Flood Inundation Area was derived by the Dartmouth Flood Observatory by classifying water polygons from MODIS, LANDSAT, and SPOT images. The data was collected on August 30-31, 2005 (MODIS and LANDSAT) and September 2, 2005 (SPOT). The flood vectors outline areas of water detected by the satellite on that particular day. The extent of the flood analysis shows the perimeter of the classified imagery and excludes areas that were not classified due to clouds. All data is projected to UTM, Zone 16, WGS84.

Title: Hurricane Katrina Wind Speeds

Sustained wind speed polygons were created by Applied Research Associates Inc., under contract with FEMA. The sustained wind data was collected by parish and county and was aggregated for display purposes. All data is projected to UTM, Zone 16, WGS84.

Title: Topography-Based Analysis of Hurricane Katrina Inundation of New Orleans

This poster was produced at USGS/EROS using 2002 lidar data. Because an accurate delineation of the inundated area from remote sensing data was not yet available, the flood water level within the city was derived from a lake level gage on Lake Pontchartrain, with the assumption that the level of the lake and the floodwaters had equalized by the afternoon of Friday, September 2, 2005. Comparison with subsequent imagery has shown the flood delineation to be a reasonable depiction.

Title: Holly Beach, Louisiana before and after Hurricane Rita

Hurricane Rita swept away the coastal community of Holly Beach, Louisiana (population: ~300). The top image shows the small fishing town in 2004 before the hurricane struck. Early on September 24, 2005, around 3:30 a.m., Hurricane Rita made landfall near the Texas-Louisiana coastal border. The bottom image, taken by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on September 25, 2005, reveals the damage. With the surrounding wetlands under water and roads buried by dirt and debris, little sign of the town remain.

Title: Hurricane Rita - Monitoring the path of the hurricane using MODIS satellite data - MODIS Series

This poster contains a series of Terra MODIS images depicting the movement of Hurricane Rita from the Atlantic Ocean into the Gulf of Mexico. During this period, the maximum sustained winds intensified from tropical storm levels to hurricane speeds. On September 19, the tropical storm system shown in the right image was located in the Bahamas. By the time the center image was acquired two days later, Rita had been upgraded to hurricane status and had passed between the Florida Keys and Cuba. The eye of the hurricane is clearly visible. In the September 22 image (at left), the storm is seen advancing toward the Texas and Louisiana shoreline. On September 24, Hurricane Rita degraded to a tropical depression after the landfall.
