ICEYE, the global provider of satellite-powered disaster management solutions, has signed a new contract with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to provide it with access to ICEYE Flood Insights for events across the US and its territories.
As per the agreement, ICEYE will deliver these incited to teams at CDC’s Geospatial Research, Analysis, and Services Program (GRASP), the organisation’s leading geospatial unit.
GRASP will then partner with groups across the agency to analyse, visualize, and map complex data sets leveraging GIS expertise to explore the link between location and public health.
ICEYE’s Government Solutions are uniquely positioned to support disaster response, recovery, and resilience efforts. By leveraging its more than 30 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites, ICEYE can monitor Earth in any conditions.
The company will provide GRASP researchers with near real-time geospatial data for all significant U.S. flood events, to enhance CDC’s disaster response capabilities.
Its Flood Insights solution synthesizes data from SAR captures, observational ground truth, and third-party sources to deliver geospatial intelligence in near real-time. This includes GIS-ready flood depth, extent, and building-level impact layers within hours of a flood’s peak.
The aim is also to support the agency’s core public health research and initiatives, as floods become more frequent, costly, and severe, citizens nationwide are increasingly vulnerable to impacts from these events.
Andy Read, Vice President, Government Solutions, ICEYE, said, “Floods can devastate local communities and affect health and wellness outcomes long after the waters have receded. ICEYE is proud to support CDC and our other global agency clients as they work to better understand and mitigate the impacts of flooding on public health.”
