Supporting Technology 67 8.2 Technology Recommendations for Fast Reconnaissance Efficient and effective FR quickly provides a global perspective of the geographic extents of the damaged region as well as the overall severity of the damage. It is based on rapid technologybased observation and/or reporting from both SHA personnel and the public.

68 Assessing, Coding, and Marking of Highway Structures in Emergency Situations: Assessment Process Manual • Near-real-time hazard intensity mapping technologies can track the damage extent or monitor emergency event intensity immediately following the event, such as earthquakes and storm surges, which produces real mapping of products reflecting the intensity of the event. Today, many emergency events are monitored or tracked by modern radar or geodetic sensing networks.

70 Assessing, Coding, and Marking of Highway Structures in Emergency Situations: Assessment Process Manual Table 8-4 summarizes technologies suitable for PDA as well as their general availability, classifications, and resources. These technologies emphasize rapid inspection and data recording when working with highway structures or their structural elements.
