Arkansas Air National Guard Members from the 188th Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Group (ISRG) are using their analyst capabilities to assist in disaster relief in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The analysts are part of an Unclassified Processing Analysis Dissemination (UPAD) site where they gather data from multiple sources online and create products that will be used by FEMA, disaster relief workers and other government agencies. Technical Sergeant Findley says that when Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands were hit by the Hurricanes they began building products right away.
