Description
The State of Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) produced airborne lidar-derived elevation data for Sitka, Alaska. Airborne and ground surveys occurred between the 27th and 30th of April, 2018. These data were produced to assess bare earth slope conditions as part of an overarching, multi-hazard risk analysis for the study area, coordinated through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) program. The project was initiated in response to a tragic debris flow incident that took three Alaskans' lives in 2015. This data collection is released as a Raw Data File with an open end-user license. All files can be downloaded free of charge from the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys website (http://doi.org/10.14509/30531).
