The storm has since weakened into a tropical storm but continues to move slowly inland, causing widespread rain, flooding, and damage in Brisbane and surrounding east coast regions.<\/p>\n<p>Our Gray Sky team remains fully activated, closely monitoring the storm\u2019s movement and its impact. We are working with partners to assess conditions and waiting for a safe weather window to begin aerial imagery collection, enabling us to capture high-resolution data of targeted areas as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>We will provide further updates as conditions evolve and will deploy our aircraft when weather allows.

However, this list may change as the cyclone progresses. This will likely be a wide-scale, multi-day collection depending on the storm\u2019s final path. Our focus will be on collecting high-resolution imagery of populated areas with property damage.<\/p>\n<p>We are actively working with government agencies, insurers, and other organizations to prioritize collection areas and support response and recovery efforts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_fifth-7984035d50f0055e2d8c0f71fa3ebd04\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_fifth-7984035d50f0055e2d8c0f71fa3ebd04{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-av_one_fifth-7984035d50f0055e2d8c0f71fa3ebd04 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-24  el_after_av_three_fifth  el_before_av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding '     ><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_fifth-53b0b300fb3685750664fb085c5ad19d\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_fifth-53b0b300fb3685750664fb085c5ad19d{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-av_one_fifth-53b0b300fb3685750664fb085c5ad19d av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-25  el_after_av_one_fifth  el_before_av_three_fifth  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding column-top-margin'     ><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_three_fifth-7984035d50f0055e2d8c0f71fa3ebd04\">\n.flex_column.av-av_three_fifth-7984035d50f0055e2d8c0f71fa3ebd04{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-av_three_fifth-7984035d50f0055e2d8c0f71fa3ebd04 av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-26  el_after_av_one_fifth  el_before_av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-d3d5a2a601c86f4849e44ac595c023fb'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3><strong>More Info<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Our thoughts go out to all communities affected and responders in the path of this storm.
