The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) predicts a 60% chance of an above-normal hurricane season for this year*. For six months, weather forecasters will keep a close eye on impending storms and for six months, insurers, government agencies, and more will wait and watch, getting ready to respond.<\/p>\n<p>Given the increasing frequency and intensity of storms, now is the time to prepare and build your own hurricane response toolkit with one of the best assets available: aerial imagery.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>The Role of Aerial Imagery in Hurricane Response<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Once a massive storm moves through an area, the first thing everyone wants to know is: what does it look like now? What really happened? What\u2019s left standing?

Aerial imagery enables insurers and emergency responders to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"704\" data-end=\"812\"><strong>Assess Damage Accurately<\/strong>: Identify the extent of destruction to properties and infrastructure.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"816\" data-end=\"927\"><strong>Prioritize Response Efforts<\/strong>: Determine which areas require immediate attention.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"931\" data-end=\"1042\"><strong>Facilitate Insurance Claims<\/strong>: Provide visual evidence to support claims.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Vexcel\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/vexceldata.com\/products\/gray-sky\/\">Gray Sky program<\/a> captures high-resolution aerial imagery following major disasters like hurricanes, wildfires, and tornadoes, and delivers it to the cloud and other popular GIS platforms as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Vexcel also has a robust library of historical imagery so you can quickly view and compare pre- and post-disaster images.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div class='flex_column av-a78exa5-52873d61e995b59766a6b5cc7849c1a0 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_three_fifth  el_before_av_one_full  flex_column_div column-top-margin'     ><\/div>\n<div class='flex_column av-a1g5hvh-d93b5003351531ed9501c8ccf9349c1e av_one_full  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_one_fifth  el_before_av_one_fifth  first flex_column_div column-top-margin'     ><p><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mb9hvz9t-3d1a4b9f96171dc9ffdb06f4e0ee770b'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Below are examples of before\/after imagery from Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Ian.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mb6o1c1s-0121b65f7a0d0c01d54648cd9035f681'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div id=\"twenty20-1\" class=\"twenty20\" style=\"width: 100% !important; clear: both;\"><div class=\"twentytwenty-container twenty20-1 t20-hover\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vexceldata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/St_Petersburg_FL_USA_27.745198_-82.624189_3.jpg\" alt=\"Before image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vexceldata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/St_Petersburg_FL_USA_27.745198_-82.624189_4.jpg\" alt=\"After image\" \/><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-9j9je8t-0650d1bd60e95c3565355a0806ab3f94'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div id=\"twenty20-2\" class=\"twenty20\" style=\"width: 100% !important; clear: both;\"><div class=\"twentytwenty-container twenty20-2 t20-hover\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vexceldata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/01-GIC-Aerial-Imagery-before.jpg\" alt=\"Before image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vexceldata.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/01-GIC-Aerial-Imagery-after.jpg\" alt=\"After image\" \/><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<div class='flex_column av-91f2jct-f7d4fd586b52befa43abf010786b74c6 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-15  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_three_fifth  first flex_column_div column-top-margin'     ><\/div>\n<div class='flex_column av-8lxqnz1-11ea5d9bb4953b9d2343f075db508663 av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-16  el_after_av_one_fifth  el_before_av_one_fifth  flex_column_div column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mb6o2vy3-8ba09272b389edac7873498f5009c0f3'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h5><strong>AI Insights for Analysis on Damaged Properties<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Once imagery is collected, AI is applied to the imagery and delivers information back on the level of damage.
