8 Weather Update 8

9 Weather Update: Key Messages 1. Life-threatening storm surge will continue along portions of the North Carolina coast through today, and also along the Neuse and Pamlico Rivers in western Pamlico Sound, where rainfall and freshwater flooding will also contribute to high water levels. Dangerous storm surge could also affect portions of the northeast coast of South Carolina coast today. 2. Life-threatening, catastrophic flash floods and prolonged significant river flooding are likely over portions of the Carolinas and the southern to central Appalachians from western North Carolina into west-central Virginia and far eastern West Virginia through early next week, as Florence moves slowly inland. In addition to the flash flood and flooding threat, landslides are also possible in the higher terrain of the southern and central Appalachians across western North Carolina into southwest Virginia. 3. Tropical storm conditions will continue along the coast within the tropical storm warning area and also well inland across portions of South Carolina and North Carolina today. 4. Large swells affecting Bermuda, portions of the U.S. East Coast, and the northwestern and central Bahamas will continue this week, resulting in life-threatening surf and rip currents. 9

10 Weather Update: September 14 th 11:27 AM: Dr. Robert Adler, Senior Research Scientist, UMD Three day forecast from GFMS: Forecast rainfall focuses on North Carolina (with max. around 900mm[~36"] near Wilmington), but stretching across into S. Carolina and then up into Virginia. Forecast flood follows that pattern with time over the next three days (second through fourth figures). Last figure shows forecast streamflow for Cape Fear R. outside of Wilmington. 10

11 Forecast flood intensity (depth above threshold) for Saturday 11

12 Forecast flood intensity (depth above threshold) for Sunday 12

13 Forecast flood intensity (depth above threshold) for Monday 13

14 Additional FEMA Resources Region IV: Updates: Insurance Call 9/14 and Utility Call 9/15 NCDOT coordinating flights Both UAS and manned aircraft being used Region III: RGC/GIS Unit Regional Remote Sensing Specialist States or Local governments within that Region FEMA IMATS Other FEMA programs FEMA Public Assistance MIT scope of work has been received. Mission assignments to follow 14

15 Interagency Updates

16 Civil Air Patrol (CAP) Status Update: CAP Imagery is available at the following sites (NOTE: Be patient as the data loads) CAP Resource Page: Browser App (Direct): b4a a8bac3944b931d2d Sept 12 Status: 2 of 5 aircraft positioned at Waldo Air, TN have advanced imagery sensors loaded and in testing Test results available by ~1900L Number of deployable aircraft by state: DE: 4 MD: 9 NC: 15 SC: 7 VA: 14 WV: 5 Aircraft sheltered in place until passing of weather 16

17 National Guard Bureau/NGB J-2 Status Update: Working with affected states to assign UPADs. 10 UPAD units "in the inventory UPADs will work in 2 week stints IOT keep with regulatory guidelines for Orders The UPAD request for FEMA to be submitted to NGB 17

18 Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Status Update: All assets in place Multi-role Enforcement Aircraft (MEA) (Super King Air 350ER) in Manassas, VA EO/IR P-3 in Jacksonville, FL EO/IR Still try to deconflict IAA tasking 18

19 DoD NORTHCOM Status Update: EMARSS sourced supporting commanders situational awareness 19

20 NOAA Flight Tracker: NGS, Remote Sensing Division NOAA King Air (N68RF) is located in Lakeland, FL, at AOC and planning to preposition North of the impact area to begin collections against NOAA requirements as soon as weather allows. Coordinating with FEMA, impacted States, and other federal agencies on priorities. FEMA has provided a Mission Assignment for North Carolina. The NOAA King Air N68RF has ~75 hours of tasking available before a mandatory maintenance period is required. RSD has requested and is making plans to install the back up camera in the NOAA Turbo Commander N45RF that should be available early next week. This would be a backup/additional capability for the event. 20

21 JPSS/NOAA Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) The affected region was under thin/thick clouds meaning no real qualitative analysis can be performed on power outages until clouds clear. It is worth noting, though that the scattered lights of the larger cities (ex. Wilmington) can be see though the relatively thick clouds in the DNB imagery, but no comparisons can be made at this time. Will provide reference and comparison imagery when clear.

22 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) International Charter Charter was activated 9/11/2018 Hazards Data Distribution System (HDDS) at Current: Staging map products Sept. 11: Events were set up in HDDS Other Programs No update 22

23 NASA Support Team NASA Disasters Program (Updated 9/14) Remote sensing scientist arrived at FEMA Thursday (9/13) Working to help with UAVSAR tasking and remote sensing needs UAVSAR should be good to go Monday Engineering flight is today Current: Just delivered 9/ UTC Sentinel-1 RGB and Water Extents to FEMA South Side of the storm (off shore flow) JPL/ARIA to deliver products soon as well Waiting for additional SAR collections to happen Future: UAVSAR flights starting Tuesday Will gather 1 to 2 flight lines on Monday Full ~5 hour flights starting Tuesday Optical Imagery collections once skies clear All data will be posted : JPL Aria Team Images on Next Slide 14 September UTC Sentinel-1 23

24 NASA Aria Team Overnight on 9/12, there was significant change in ESA s Sentinel-1 acquisition mode. Their previously planned EW (would need manual processing) mode was gone, and now they will acquire all scenes in IW mode, which ARIA system can handle. We plan to produce damage proxy maps from the white boxes that cover the coastline for potential storm surge/wind damage and flood extent maps from all the white boxes. Date/times indicate SAR data acquisition time (in local time). 24

25 Additional Updates U.S. Coast Guard No updates at this time USACE No updates at this time USEPA No mission assignments or requests for ASPECT Support at this time. ASPECT is at a ready state in Dallas, TX with 1-hour wheels up response capability. Link to Fact Sheet: Copernicus Emergency Management Service (EMS) No updates at this time US Forest Service Requesting collection for three forests. (Croatan, Francis Marion, and Uwharrie) Plans to create a NDVI or Vegetation Change analysis based on MODIS and Sentinel 2 for NC and SC states after clear skies 25
