ImageCat Presents Remote Sensing Research to White House Homeland Security Council Washington DC- September 2004. At the invitation of Janet Benini, Director of Response and Planning at the White House, ImageCat’s Remote Sensing Group Leader Dr Beverley Adams traveled to Washington DC to present the company’s post-disaster damage detection research and field data collection system to the Homeland Security Council. The distinguished audience, which included White House staffers and senior professionals from Federal agencies such as NASA, DHS, DOE and USACE, heard about the recent use of very high-resolution Quickbird satellite imagery in the aftermath of Hurricane Charley and Ivan and the Bam, Iran, earthquake. Dr Adams went on to describe the accompanying deployment of the ImageCat VIEWS (Visualizing Impacts of Earthquakes With Satellites) system for in-field damage mapping. Dr. Adams was supported by Dr. Kathleen Tierney, Director of the Natural Hazards Center at the University of Colorado, who directs the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER) Program Area 3 (Response and Recovery) that funds ImageCat’s post-disaster research activities, and Ron Eguchi, the President and CEO of ImageCat.
