Surfside Champlain Tower Collapse

InSAR Satellite Infrastructure Monitoring

Emergency Response in Florida

One week ago today, we awoke to the horrific news of the tragic collapse of Champlain Towers South in Surfside, Florida. EO59 was then contracted in the ongoing emergency. EO59 empowers them to visualise and graph, structure stability past and present. 

Our top priority at EO59 is the safety of the community.

We have been working around the clock supporting Surfside response efforts. EO59, a Virginia satellite radar data company, can process archives of millimeter accuracy deformation data from roughly 1992 to today, determining the motion trend of structures and Earthen areas. In addition, our software, training, and integration with multinational space agencies allow us to observe changes in those trends nearly anywhere in the world. As a result, EO59 capability may be used to economically, accurately, and rapidly assess broad areas towards catastrophe preparedness, prevention, response, and recovery. 

Satellite radar infrastructure monitoring is a never-ending encyclopedia of earth and its structures. A superpower that allows you to time travel seeing where, and to what extent motion has occurred.

We are honored and humbled that our startup team is supporting the rescue and forensics efforts in Surfside.

As America’s InSAR company, we are coordinating with various space agencies in this effort. We genuinely thank all SAR mission operators for around-the-clock support and engagement in providing critical data.

You can read more about our work as quoted in The Washington Post as well as a recent NPR interview. You can also find our work referred to by the Surfside Vice Mayor on this NPR discussion.

Now, more than ever, spend time with the ones you love and remember that each of us is precious.
