Our Emergency Response Team Is Ready to Support First Responders, Insurance Claims Adjusters, Utility and Transportation Industry Personnel During Winter Storm Season

ASSIST-U.S.^® stands ready to support public and private sector emergency management directors and incident commanders with streaming real-time aerial, full motion video imagery of any winter storm damage occurring throughout the Northeast Region.

For first responders, our aerial data acquisition services can improve your situational awareness and enable more efficient deployment and better control of human resources with minimum risk to your personnel. Our aerial documentation is available for all types of post-storm damage assessment – ice, snow, and flooding damage causing downed lines, blocked tracks and rights-of-way, etc. – to help claims adjusters process claims quickly and accurately, to help utility and transportation freight companies provide evidence of completed work and satisfied customers.

The homepage video shows some of the 2011 tornado and flood damage in New England.
