In the fall of 2012, Atlantic ERMA was put to the test during the aftermath of Post Tropical Cyclone Sandy. Designated as the Common Operational Picture for the U.S. Coast Guard's pollution response to Sandy, ERMA provided responders across multiple command posts and field teams with up-to-date information to facilitate assessment and cleanup of spilled hazardous waste and other pollutants. Data specific to the response included identified pollution sources, remote sensing imagery, field and overflight photos, major response operations, and locations of sensitive natural resources. View a gallery of before-and-after photos from the Sandy response as viewed through Atlantic ERMA.
Atlantic ERMA will continue to support ongoing environmental remediation and restoration activities throughout this region.
