Field Assessment Structural Team 1 (FAST-1), in StEER - Hurricane Florence

Year: 2026

Type: dataset

Abstract: Hurricane Florence made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane at Wrightsville Beach North Carolina, about five miles east of Wilmington, at 7:15 AM EDT 14 September 2018. StEER deployed its first Field Assessment Structural Team (FAST-1), composed of regional experts capable of reaching the landfall area as soon as safely possible. FAST-1 was tasked with swiftly working along the coastline of the affected area to examine clusters along the barrier islands and informing targets of interest to StEER’s second team (FAST-2) and other NSF RAPIDs interested in conducting high-fidelity data collection. FAST-1 collected data September 20-22, 2018 in North Carolina from Atlantic Beach down to Wrightsville Beach, with D2D assessments of over 260 buildings. FAST-1 primarily focused on Door-to-Door (D2D) Assessments with a dedicated operator for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).
