ICEYE Hurricane Solution

ICEYE’s Hurricane Solution offers wind and flood geospatial insights within hours – not days – of hurricane landfall. Composed of ICEYE’s Rapid Impact Heat Map and Flood Insights, ICEYE offers the most comprehensive view of the damage caused by the storm while the clouds are still in the sky. The product enables best-in-class situational awareness to improve your event response and claims handling. Utilizing high-resolution radar satellite imagery, we empower insurers with information across the full extent of the hurricane path, highlighting areas with significant change as a consequence of the storm. In combination with best-in-class flood footprints, the solution enables event-level and drill-down assessments. Our Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology allows you to see through darkness and clouds, offering a reliable and consistent method of on-the-ground monitoring and continuous impact assessment. Using high-resolution satellite imagery, ground-based data sensors, and auxiliary information, you’ll get large-scale damage data for both wind and flood within 24 hours of landfall across the full extent of the hurricane path, pinpointing areas of major building impact along the track. Instant access to our observed data provides you with a clear picture of what is going on, days ahead of traditional information sources e.g., optical and aerial imagery become available. This way, your team can quickly identify the most severely impacted customers, identify large loss concentrations, and target field resources accordingly. With ICEYE’s combined datasets, you can conduct rapid claims triage and immediately identify complex claims that combine wind and flood losses to inform adjuster allocation and help reduce costs. The ICEYE Hurricane Solution is composed of two geospatial data products. The Hurricane Rapid Impact product consists of two layers – a 30m raster heatmap with each cell containing a “damage score” and a 500m vector Hex Grid, which aggregates the damage scores to give the user a holistic view of the event impact at the neighborhood level. Additionally, as part of our Flood Insights product, we offer flood extent and depth vector and raster files, representing the total observed flooding across the duration of the event.
