The first insights of a disaster. In high resolution.

Disaster Insights

The first insights of a disaster. In high resolution.

The decisions made in the first 24–48 hours determine how quickly communities recover from catastrophe. Nearmap Disaster Insights rapidly deliver high-resolution post-event imagery and AI-powered damage classification — giving emergency managers, insurers, and government agencies a clear, property-level view of the impact before ground crews can safely reach affected areas.

Structural Damage

Roof with Temporary Repair

Vegetation Debris

Assess

High-resolution ImpactResponse imagery and AI-powered damage classification give you a fast, automated view of damage at scale — across thousands of properties.

Respond

Know where to send crews and resources based on a verified source of truth. Direct response teams to the properties with the greatest need.

Recover

Accurate, property-level damage assessments accelerate insurance settlements, government funding applications, and community recovery planning. So people can get back to normal sooner.

In the air as soon as conditions allow

When tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, and floods strike, Nearmap deploys aircraft as soon as it is safe to fly.

Inspection-level resolution

Post-event ImpactResponse imagery captured at a consistent 1.57-2.95 in/4.4-7.5 cm or better GSD gives you the detail needed to detect and quantify property damage, measure structures, and identify access constraints.

ImpactResponse imagery is captured as soon as conditions allow and published with industry-leading turnaround speed. When the situation on the ground is evolving, Nearmap captures additional surveys of the same areas in the following days for the most current view available.

A single disaster can affect tens of thousands of properties across multiple counties. ImpactResponse imagery scales to the footprint of the catastrophe.

Damage Classifications AI

Instantly identify which properties need help most

Nearmap Damage Classification AI automatically classifies property damage into five FEMA-aligned tiers across every affected property in the event footprint. Instead of sending crews out to assess damage, response teams arrive knowing which properties are destroyed, which are damaged, and which are unaffected — so resources go where they’re needed.

Damage Detections AI

A complete picture of the damage

Property-level damage intelligence means recovery teams, insurers, and government agencies are all working from the same verified picture of what happened. When everyone sees the same damage, recovery coordination moves faster.

Property intelligence built for the decisions that can't wait

Accurate damage assessment

ImpactResponse imagery captured at 1.7–2.95 in (4.4–7.5cm) GSD or better gives you the resolution to detect, quantify, and measure property damage with the accuracy required for defensible assessments.

Understand obstacles, access limitations, and damage severity across the full event footprint before deploying resources. Send the right crews to the right locations from the start.

Draw on multiple surveys per year dating back to 2014 to establish pre-event condition, identify pre-existing damage, and determine exactly what the catastrophic event caused.

State agencies can grant 30-day downstream access to post-disaster imagery and AI damage data across every relevant agency and local government — giving them one shared, centralized source of truth.

Trusted by leading insurers, government agencies, and emergency response organizations

“Nearmap imagery and AI extracts, including building footprints, 3D Mesh, and canopy are all being used as part of our recovery.”

Nikki Hart-Brinkley, Owner and Principal GIS Analyst, Green Top Planning

“Nearmap imagery is one source of truth that allows us to understand many attributes about a property that standard data sources may not catch. Recent imagery from Nearmap allows us to review the insights against the analytics and truly understand the property’s condition.”

Adam Sturt, Chief Analytics Officer, Kin Insurance
