Overview:

NASA's Disasters Response Coordination System (DRCS) provided FEMA with high resolution optical and infrared imagery, water extent, and flood extent maps to support their response for flooding in Iowa. In the following weeks, the program provided additional data as the situation evolved and flooding progressed to other locations in Iowa and the surrounding states.
