Unprocessed Drone-based Video Footage Following the 2015 Lefkada Earthquake

Within less than 48 hrs following the Mw 6.4 earthquake that occurred near Lefkada island in Greece, on November 17th 2015, engineers from Geoengineer.org, the University of Michigan (USA) and the University of Patras (Greece) mobilized to quickly perform condition assessment at select sites that are of potential scientific interest. The team deployed an Unmanned Aerial Autonomous Vehicle (UAAV) that was able to collect footage of affected areas. The UAAV successfully by-passed roads that were closed by landslides and other damaged infrastructure that impacted accessibility. This unprocessed video is launched immediately following UAAV deployment to make available data and footage that may prove valuable to first responders, engineers, rescue operators and damage assessors. It includes footage from the port of Vasiliki, the village of Ponti, and the famous beach of Egkremni that was devastated by landslides.
