Datasets -- Assessing Lava Flow Impacts

Caption

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory contributed buildings and structures datasets to the Federal Emergency Management Agency to support emergency response following major volcanic eruptions on the Island of Hawaii. Combined with other mapping layers -- such as lava flows, outlined in red, and active or inactive fissures, shown in red or green triangles, respectively--structural information helps identify immediate risks or hazards and aids in damage assessment.
