HURRICANE KATRINA MAPPING RESPONSE |
(Click HERE to return to WHOCC home page) |
|
In an effort to inform other agencies and the public , this website was developed to post pertinent satellite imagery of the affected areas in non-GIS formats as they became available. Now the site will be used to post recovery GIS efforts and projects.

As the Katrina response shifts from emergency response to recovery, The WHOCC is working collaboratively with several LSU GIS labs, the EOC, FEMA, and Google Earth to establish a long-term working group for map and spatial analysis development and public dissemination. We have access to high resolution data sets for the entire state of Louisiana, have direct access to large http://atlas.lsu.edu spatial data sets, and can produce maps as static paper maps, Adobe PDF files, digital copies in any image format, and interact web-based mapping systems. We can also load maps to a number of PDA-based mapping systems for integration with real-time GPS data streams, wireless data capture systems, and field-based assessment.
The WHOCC has also teamed up with Chameleon Beach to develop a GIS-based analysis of the animal rescue, response, and adoption efforts of for South Louisiana. For more information on Chameleon Beach, go to http://chameleonbeach.com/ |

The Plaquemines Parish Government website posted a series of photos of the areas south of New Orleans (Buras / Boothville Area). These are not satellite images, but many are from the air. There is more info at the website. CLICK HERE TO LINK TO PLAQUEMINES IMAGES |
|
The LSU Earth Scan Laboratory is posting imagery as it becomes available. This morning MODIS images of the flooding area were put up on the site. CLICK HERE FOR KATRINA IMAGES AT EARTH SCAN |

NOAA is now putting imagery up of the hurricane at the following website: http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/katrina/
Go to the website, click on the image of Katrina path, use the image footprint map that appears and you can view color aerial photos of several parts of the affected areas in the multi-state area. |

Several websites are now providing galleries and imagery showing affected areas. These focus on the southern regions of Louisiana, from New Orleans to the Mississippi River Delta:

Thanks for Susan Holley for these links and to those who posted originally. |

Google Earth is now posting NOAA flood imagery of both New Orleans and the North Shore areas in their viewer: http://earth.google.com/katrina.html
Google Earth is a new product from Google that is a very high resolution map viewer and search engine. You can download the viewer and it even has an address search tool. The download is free. CAUTION: The product does require HIGH SPEED INTERNET |
|
WHOCC produced this map from pre and post-flood imagery available from Digital Globe. It is a PDF file and scalable to print at the size you need. |
|
FEMA maps are now becoming available and can be checked at the link below, these cover parts of all of Katrina’s reach, even areas beyond Louisiana:

CNN is posting an interactive map similar to the PDF posted by WHOCC, but it includes levee breaks and other areas of interest within New Orleans.
