Here I am algorithm, hi! I lived most of my life on Fort Myers Beach and my home and everything is in a pile with over 100 other homes all blended up and laid back down. My FEEMA agent made a big deal about meeting with me at my place or as close to it as possible. We got to the bridge for the island and he was like "ya know what? This is good here."
Im actually doing okay overall (compared to some of my neighbors, we all lost everything but I saved my most expensive uninsured items) it just isn't often I find myself in these kinds of situations so I'm gonna bitch about it when I see the chance and I don't have a job to go back to anymore so I have lots of time to bitch right now.

Katrina victim here. Had 7+ feet of water in my house. It hard, man, but it will get better in time. Just gotta take it one thing at a time. If you need someone to talk to about it, just message me. :)
Hang in there!

The following submission statement was provided by /u/Give-Directly:
AI targeting aid after a disaster is faster and often more accurate than traditional assessments. However, it is in and of itself incomplete - people in need will be missed. Can this technology work in concert with traditional on the ground approaches to respond to climate disasters?

They must have access to something we don't, because Google Maps satellite imagery hasn't been updated since 2020 for me.
