Damage Assessment for Hurricane Dorian<\/h2>\n

In late summer 2019, Hurricane Dorian hit the Caribbean and the southeast coast of the United States to catastrophic effect; it is one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes ever to make landfall.\u00a0To give you a sense of how ArcGIS Earth can transform and streamline disaster response missions,\u00a0let\u2019s\u00a0use\u00a0Hurricane Dorian\u00a0as an\u00a0example.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
