Fugro provides essential Geo-data for Hurricane Helene recovery

MIS is utilising the detailed imagery to conduct rapid and accurate damage assessments, enabling insurance companies to swiftly process claims and provide financial relief to affected residents and businesses. Fugro's advanced imaging technology ensures that the data captured is not only precise but also timely, facilitating efficient recovery efforts.

Hurricane Helene made landfall as a Category 4 storm near Perry on September 26, causing widespread devastation across the Southeast. Thousands of homes and businesses were affected, resulting in significant loss of life and property.

"We understand the urgency of disaster recovery and our team is dedicated to providing the necessary geospatial data to expedite the rebuilding process," stated Denis Charland, Fugro's Service Line Director for Inspection and Monitoring in the Americas.

MIS's response team has already begun analysing the imagery to pinpoint areas most affected by the hurricane, ensuring that assistance can be directed where it is needed most.
