Post-Hurricane Matthew coastal oblique aerial photographs collected Port St. Lucie, Florida, to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, October 13-15, 2016

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), as part of the National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards (NACCH) conducts baseline and storm-response photography missions to document and understand the changes in the vulnerability of the Nation's coasts to extreme storms and longer-term processes related to sediment supply and sea-level rise. On October 13?15, 2016, the USGS's NACCH project conducted an oblique aerial photographic survey from Port St. Lucie, Florida, to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, aboard a Cessna 182 aircraft at an altitude of 500 feet (152 meters) and approximately 1,200 feet (366 meters) offshore in response to impacts from Hurricane Matthew.
