Rapid Disaster Response & Flood Mitigation
Providing DLNR, Maui County officials, and civil engineers with rapid, survey-grade terrain and hydrology models to assess flood damage and engineer lasting infrastructure solutions.
The Maui Infrastructure Challenge
Recent extreme weather and flooding events in areas like Kihei highlight a critical vulnerability in our infrastructure. Traditional surveying methods are too slow and often dangerous in post-storm environments.
Relying on outdated topographic data leads to flawed drainage models and repeated structural failures. Solving the Kihei watershed issues and securing Maui's flood corridors requires a new, immediate baseline of truth. Levity Creations provides that baseline safely from the air.
Emergency Mitigation Capabilities
Bare-Earth Terrain Models
Aerial LiDAR: cm-level accurate Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) that strip away dense, storm-tossed vegetation to reveal the true ground structure—accessible safely without risking ground crews.
Hydrology & Watershed Simulation
Flow Modeling: Map new water flow paths, simulate runoff velocity, and identify critical drainage bottlenecks based on the immediate post-storm terrain data.
Change Detection Mapping
Erosion Analysis: Compare pre-storm baseline data against current topography to measure erosion, sediment transport, and exact structural volume loss.
