Abstract
Hurricane Sandy, the worst storm of its type hitting the state of New Jersey and the city of New York in generations caused devastating damages to the region's infrastructure, properties, and businesses. A variety of geospatial information acquisition technologies have been used after the landing of Hurricane Sandy to support critical decision making related to search and rescue, damage assessment, environmental risk analysis, debris removal, and rebuilding processes. The challenge is to match the best sensing method to the desired post-disaster applications. This paper describes the first large-scale application of mobile terrestrial laser scanning technology in post-hurricane situations for supporting disaster recovery operations in the United States. Several innovative data analysis approaches for supporting damage assessment and flood resilience analysis are presented in the paper. Opportunities and challenges in using mobile terrestrial laser scanning to support post-disaster recovery operations are discussed to highlight future research directions.Keywords
