Maps and models in minutes, not weeks
The fire destroyed two hectares of land, which would ordinarily take weeks to map – but drones running DroneDeploy software completed a flight in ten minutes, had a 2D map and 3D model produced in less than a day, and ensured assessors didn’t have to clamber over dangerous thatched roofs.
Collaboration on the cloud
Since their map was hosted on the DroneDeploy cloud, it was easily shareable and became a central tool where the team could share findings – from data about wind direction to information collected onsite by the insurance inspector.
Prevention before catastrophe strikes
Insurance companies can also use drones to prevent disasters like these – inspecting properties, identifying risks, and working with the customer to mitigate them. And when unpreventable disasters happen, drones can speed up the claims process – getting victims of disaster their settlement sooner so they can get back on their feet.
