7 Coastal Storm Damage Reduction Purpose: Reduce damage to upland developments caused by wave attack and inundation along the Nation's coasts and shores, and lakes, estuaries, and bays. Pre Storm Inspect and evaluate projects Response Re inspect and evaluate projects Conduct Damage Assessment Aerial and ground LIDAR (Light Detection Dt ti and Ranging Digital Elevation Data) Data Acquisition and Analysis to support rough order of magnitude (ROM) damage assessments Emergency Stabilization: Expedient measures necessary to prevent further damage to projects. Utilize Construction, FCCE and FEMA Mission Assignments, as authorized Pre Event Cross Section Recovery Beach Profile Cross Section Design Profile Post Event Profile Water Post Storm Profile Authorized Renourishment & Restoration (O&M/CG) Emergency Repair (FCCE/PIR) Repair: Return Authorized Coastal Storm Damage Reduction projects to pre storm conditions 7
