Labels for Emergency Response Imagery from Hurricane Florence, Hurricane Michael, and Hurricane Isaias

The csv file contains human-generated labels for Emergency Response Imagery collected by US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) after Hurricane Florence (2018), Hurricane Michael (2018) and Hurricane Isaias (2020). All authors contributed to labeling the imagery. There are 6200 labels total for 1500 images. All labeling was done with an online labeling tool (Rafique et al., 2020). The csv provides the userID (the ID of the anonymous labeler), the NOAA flight, the NOAA image, and 6 labels — allWater (if the image was all water), devType (if the image had buildings/development), washoverType (if the image had washover deposits), dmgType (if the image showed damage to built environment), impactType (if the labeler could identify the coastal impact, using the Storm Impact Scale from Sallenger, 2000), and terrainType (the type of physical environment). Images labeled here correspond to 3 NOAA flights — Florence 20180917a , Michael 20181011a, Isaias 20200804a. These images can be downloaded directly from NOAA (https://storms.ngs.noaa.gov/) or using Moretz et al. (2020a, 2020b). Note also that there is another companion dataset to this, with slightly different labels (Goldstein et al., 2020)
