Description:

On October, 10 2018, Hurricane Michael made landfall just south of Panama City, FL with the National Hurricane Center reporting a minimum pressure 919 MB and maximum sustained winds of 150 mph. Regardless of its place in history, Hurricane Michael caused catastrophic damage from high winds over a wide swath that stretched across much of the FL panhandle and inland into southeastern GA and beyond. natural hazards engineering community to swiftly deploy a Field Assessment Structural Team (FAST). This FAST broadly assessed the performance of a representative subset of structural typologies in coastal and inland areas. Its teams conducted assessments between October 13-15, 2018. FAST collected data in Florida from Panama City Beach east and south to Indian Pass and north to Marianna. The communities assessed included: Panama City Beach, Panama City (and surrounding communities), Mexico Beach, Port St. Joe, Apalachicola, a few routes out to barrier islands in the region, and the inland communities of Blountstown and Marianna. As part of an independent yet complementary effort, the RAPID EF continued data collection on November 7-8, 2018 in and around Panama City and Mexico Beach, using a variety of technologies including unmanned aerial vehicles, laser scanners and applied streetview technologies. This self-funded initiative generated an additional dataset that complements the data collected by StEER and is thus curated jointly in this project. This project encompasses the final product of StEER's response to this event: Curated Dataset, linking to previously published products: Preliminary Virtual Reconnaissance Report (PVRR) and Early Access Reconnaissance Report (EARR).
