Coast Survey’s Rapid Maritime Response assets for Hurricane Isaac are now in place, and are ready to move in when the storm moves on.
\nThe teams will search for underwater debris and other dangers to navigation in port areas, to speed the resumption of shipping in areas impacted by the storm. A rapid response — that gives Coast Guard officials vital information on the condition of ship channels — reduces economic losses in maritime trade, reduces potential disruptions in energy supplies when ports are serving energy providers and oil rigs, and keeps mariners safe.

\nNavigation response team<\/a> 4 (NRT4), a 3-person team who had been conducting surveys in Galveston<\/a>, arrived in Lafayette, Louisiana, yesterday. They brought their 28\u2019 foot Sea Ark and state-of-the-art survey equipment with them, and are already working with survey specialists at Coast Survey headquarters, laying out potential survey tracks based on initial indications of priorities from Coast Guard officials.
\nNRT2 trailered their boat from where they had been surveying on Florida\u2019s Atlantic Coast, and are now with NRT1 in Panama City (in Florida\u2019s panhandle), ready to respond to requests for assistance from Captains of the Port in Alabama or Mississippi. They can also deploy to Louisiana, if needed.
\nThe NOAA Office of Marine and Aviation Operations<\/a> \/ National Geodetic Survey<\/a> remote sensing planes are \u201cresponse ready\u201d with pre-planned flight lines for aerial surveying of coastal areas hit with storm surge. The King Air<\/a> is in Austin, Texas, and the Twin Otter<\/a> is relocating to Mobile, Alabama.
