Hurricane season is here

9 of the top 10 costliest natural disasters in US history are hurricanes. And even as climate conditions shift, tropical cyclone remain the nation's single most destructive natural hazard. The combination of flooding and strong winds can devastate coastal communities, threatening lives, property, and critical infrastructure.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) predictions for the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, we are looking at what could be a hectic season.

Understand the scope of hurricane damage

ICEYE harnesses the power of the world's largest synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to capture near real-time flood impacts through clouds, rain, and darkness. Using our fleet of 30+ satellites, we combine remote sensing data with local ground truth to produce GIS-ready insights within hours, ensuring that your decisions are always based on the fastest and most reliable observed data available.

Disaster preparedness for insurers

Supercharge your event response with near real-time data

After hurricane landfall, ICEYE's hurricane damage assessment heat map alerts insurers of the most affected properties and the magnitude of damage on their portfolio. In the valuable hours and days before optical and aerial data sources become available, ICEYE enables responders to kick-start downstream processes confidently with observed data. Complemented by our best-in-class Flood Solutions, ICEYE provides the most timely and comprehensive view of hurricane damage and flood today.

Deploy field resources with confidence

We help insurers visualize and assess the storm's impact. This allows them to deploy field resources to customers ahead of the storm to install resilience measures or mitigate the impact of the natural disaster. It also facilitates proactive and targeted outreach to those anticipated to be affected.

Optimize policyholder communication

Integrate ICEYE's solution with your existing GIS tool to rapidly visualize local impacts and overlay flood and damage extent layers with other geospatial data. By shifting from reactive messaging to targeted and prescriptive advice, your team can improve hurricane response and recovery outcomes.

Pro-actively manage the complexity of flood and water claims

Identify customers early who may have been affected by wind and flood water damage, especially those not covered for flood damage. To prevent costs that may later need to be recovered, assign skilled adjusters to handle the claim and set your customers' expectations on the coverage afforded.

ICEYE Flood Solutions

Satellite-powered analytics.
In any weather condition.

Hurricane-satelllite-render_onethird-1

Uninterrupted visibility

Because SAR satellites observe Earth with radar waves instead of optical sensors, they ensure reliable captures in any conditions. With 30+ radar satellites, rapid tasking, and 4x (or more) daily re-visits, our flood monitoring is always on. This uninterrupted visibility enables your teams to respond faster on the ground and size losses more effectively.

Multi-source analysis

While SAR satellites power all our natural catastrophe monitoring solutions, remote sensing data is only one source of the final output. Our Flood Solutions also incorporate intel from local observations, river gauges, and third-party data sets. This near real-time holistic analysis yields actionable flood intel your teams can trust.

Data_OVD_file_format

Ease of data access

ICEYE delivers GIS-ready flood intelligence that smoothly integrates into the claims processing and GIS systems currently employed by insurers, providing critical, observation-driven data where it is most needed. Initial insights are ready within hours and updated daily as a flood evolves.
