Hear how the NAsA Disasters Program has partnered with disaster relief agencies to offer near real-time mapping of power outages from space. Dr. Roman will explain how this technology enabled military personnel stationed across Puerto Rico’s most rural areas to effectively deliver targeted aid after Hurricane Maria in an area where ground-based observations were sparse.
