Disaster Management

PDM provides disaster management to various local governments.

Floodwater covering a rural road under a heavy, overcast sky

PDM has a developed process for both sealed and unsealed roads and drainage assessment for QRA submissions. This process involves a combination of on-the-ground identification and desktop review based on imagery acquired during the fieldwork. The imagery is collected via PDM’s imagery collection system, which includes proprietary software to develop the scopes to QRA requirements and allowable treatments.
