Hurricane Risk Insights is the Solution

  • Computer vision analyzes aerial imagery and detects property-level vulnerabilities such as roof condition, tree overhang, debris, and defensible space, and displays an easy-to-understand 1-5 Hurricane Vulnerability Score. The lower the score, the worse the risk.

  • Insurers can also access trusted third-party partners such as HazardHub and public data like FEMA for regional/local hazard data including distance to the coast, historical hurricane activities, community resilience, and more.

  • With regional/local peril information combined with property-level Hurricane Vulnerability Scores, you now get a complete picture of hurricane risk in a single platform for fast, accurate, and confident underwriting decisions.

Two homes on the same street in LaPlace, LA. We analyzed the aerial imagery, detected property-level vulnerabilities such as roof staining, worn shingles, and defensible space, and generated vulnerability scores, before Hurricane Ida.

We found two homes on the same street in our research on the 2021 Hurricane Ida. The first, with a Hurricane Vulnerability Score of three and good defensible space, survived with minimal damage. The nearby home with a Vulnerability Score of two and less defensible space suffered significant roof and structural damages after the hurricane.

What if the neighbor's insurance company had seen the risk and proactively recommended steps like replacing the roof before the hurricane hit? With the most effective information, you can be the hero to help make homes and businesses more hurricane resilient, avoiding massive disruption and supporting recovery.
