The Speak Up For Blue Podcast

Texas Flood 2025 revealed just how urgently we need smarter tools in disaster response. In this episode, Dave Jones, founder of StormCenter Communications, explains how his team used satellite imagery and real-time mapping to support emergency responders during the catastrophic floods. Their data helped identify stranded residents, blocked roads, and the areas most in need—turning science into life-saving action. Satellite technology for disaster response is revolutionizing real-time crisis management. Dave shares how open-access Earth observation data, localized GIS tools, and close coordination with emergency services are building more resilient communities as climate change amplifies flood risks.
