GeoEye Receives Commendation for Irene Response21/11/2011 |
| GeoEye, USA, accepted an award on Thursday 17th November 2011 from Capt. Steve Lambert, commander of the Virginia State Police's Criminal Intelligence Division which runs the Virginia Fusion Center, for the company's preparation, response and recovery efforts for Hurricane Irene. GeoEye and the Fusion Center have been applying geospatial predictive analytics to public safety and homeland security operations as part of a Department of Homeland Security, Research and Development project. |

The centre houses representatives of the FBI and the US Department of Homeland Security, as well as state police and other entities that work on systems critical to the general public's safety.
Virginia Governor Robert McDonnell issued a commendation to recognise this partnership and to thank GeoEye for its critical support before, during and after the hurricane. Hurricane Irene made landfall in August of this year and caused millions of dollars' worth of damage to property and infrastructure in Virginia.
Marla Graff Decker, Virginia Secretary of Public Safety, said that GeoEye's ability to secure immediate imagery following Hurricane Irene significantly assisted the Commonwealth with its response efforts and with assessing the threat of flooding associated with the Blackwater River and other vulnerable areas.
Matt O'Connell, GeoEye's chief executive officer and president expressed to be honoured that Gov. McDonnell and the Fusion Center have chosen to acknowledge our partnership in this way.
