How to leverage new satellite technology for smarter post-disaster utility and transportation management

ON DEMAND WEBINAR
Duration: 44 minutes

When floods, hurricanes, or wildfires hit, utility and transportation operators often run blind during the hours that matter most. Crews cannot safely reach the field, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft are grounded by clouds or smoke, and ground reports arrive in fragments. Restoration priorities, crew deployment, and public communication get decided on incomplete information, while local political pressure mounts and revenue drops with every hour restoration is delayed. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) from space changes that picture. SAR sees through cloud, smoke, rain, wind, and darkness. ICEYE operates the world's largest SAR constellation, delivering observation-driven event data within hours across floods, hurricanes, wildfires, and earthquakes.

This webinar explores how utilities and transportation operators can expedite disaster response, damage assessments and restoration with near real-time SAR satellite data from ICEYE. It covers how ICEYE’s space-based monitoring integrates into GIS and command center workflows, demonstrates operational use cases through live product examples, and highlights real-world disaster response outcomes through case studies and Q&A. This session will also feature case studies, including one from Transport for New South Wales, where they will highlight how ICEYE Flood Insights served as a crucial data source in determining flood boundaries and supporting impact verification following Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred.

Key Takeaways

Learn about a newly launched space-based capability that closes the visibility gap left by cloud cover, darkness, and grounded aerial assets during the first 24 to 72 hours of a disaster.
Practical workflows utility and transportation operators use to convert near real-time event data into asset-level decisions on restoration, routing, and crew deployment.
Lessons learned from live deployments with Transport for NSW and a US energy provider, including how to integrate satellite intelligence into existing GIS and operations platforms.
