Civil Air Patrol aircraft sit at the Golden Triangle Regional Airport in Columbus, Mississippi, July 9, 2016. CAP can provide critical assistance during national disasters, most recently being the hurricanes that impacted Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico. They can help by providing airborne photography to agencies such as Federal Emergency Management Agency, who will use the imagery to evaluate areas that are not accessible by road.
