NV5 has announced the public release of lidar-derived data for the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire burn areas, in collaboration with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The data, collected between January 21-22, 2025, was sponsored by ALERTCalifornia and is now freely accessible through the USGS's 2025 Post-Wildfire Lidar Data platform for Los Angeles.

The high-resolution data enables analysis of fire impact, damage assessment, and understanding of fire debris hazards. By comparing it with previous lidar data collected by NV5 in 2023 and 2024, experts can measure changes in terrain, vegetation density, and burn severity. This information is important for identifying risks of debris flows, flooding, and guiding restoration efforts.

The project supports the USGS's 3D Elevation Program partnership with the Los Angeles Region Imagery Acquisition Consortium Program, providing essential data for public safety, first responders, government planners, utilities, and builders to make informed decisions during recovery operations.
