Major storms along the coastline can damage infrastructure and leave deposits of sediment and debris.Synoptic aerial imagery is often used to assess damage and impacts from storm events.A key source for this imagery in the US is the Emergency Response Imagery (ERI) collected by the the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) Remote Sensing Division of the US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (National Geodetic Survey, 2020).This imagery aids in recovery efforts as well as rapid assessment of storm impacts along developed and undeveloped coastlines (Madore, Imahori, Kum, White, & Worthem, 2018).
