US Virgin Islands FEMA Support

CPC’s Geomatics Team provides surveying services for restoration and construction projects throughout the US Virgin Islands. The Virgin Islands Department of Education (VIDE) continues to make important progress on a number of projects related to the new construction and/or modernization of the Territory’s public schools. In 2017, two Category 5 hurricanes devastated the US Virgin Islands which is home to approximately 106,000 Americans. Hurricane Irma hit in early September and less than one month later the Island was hit by Hurricane Maria hit on Sept. 20. The storms left chaos, destruction and no electricity.

Six months after hurricanes Irma and Maria shocked St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix, recovery is well underway. Led by the Virgin Islands Territorial Emergency Management Agency and local officials with support from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and its partner agencies. The deadly storms hit just as the school year was starting for many students in the Virgin Islands.

CPC is proud to be part of the Prime Contractor and local firm BCSC team helping with hurricane disaster assistance. Our survey crews assessed storm damaged infrastructure and facilities, providing surveying, 3D laser scanning & modeling, drone services and field survey and office support as needed.
