This annotated media repository is a supplement to StEER’s Preliminary Virtual Reconnaissance Report (PVRR). The repository is a visual catalog of geolocated photographic evidence, organized by different hazard and structural classes, and annotated with team member interpretations and analyses.

StEER activated a Level 1 response, forming a Virtual Assessment Structural Team (VAST) on October 10, 2024 to generate this Preliminary Virtual Reconnaissance Report (PVRR). The PVRR: (1) overviews Hurricane Milton, particularly relating to hurricane winds, tornadoes, flooding, and storm surge impacts on the built environment; (2) establishes the regulatory environment and construction practices in the affected area; (3) synthesizes preliminary reports of damage to buildings, infrastructure, and critical facilities; and (4) provides recommendations for continued study of this event by StEER and the wider engineering reconnaissance community, particularly related to the performance of construction designed for hurricanes during tornadoes and the performance of flood control measures under compound flooding.
