Disaster and CAT response has been fundamentally changed by using AI. First, by identifying what’s been damaged with damage footprints and getting a sense of scale. Second, by honing in on the most damaged areas. And finally, by being able to compare before-and-after imagery alongside Damage Assessment details on an impacted structure.

Q: How does aerial imagery help with insurance claims processing?
Vexcel aerial imagery helps insurers review property conditions before and after catastrophic events without always sending adjusters into the field. Claims teams use Vexcel imagery to assess damage, review affected areas at scale, prioritize inspections, and better understand property conditions during the claims process.
Q: What is Vexcel’s Gray Sky disaster imagery program?
Gray Sky is Vexcel’s rapid-response aerial imagery program for hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, and other catastrophic events. Once certain thresholds of property damage are met, the Gray Sky team deploys aircraft to collect high-resolution aerial imagery to help insurers quickly review impacted properties and support claims response and recovery operations.
Q: How does AI damage assessment work for insurance claims?
Vexcel’s Elements AI-powered damage assessments analyze aerial imagery to identify visible property damage after catastrophic events. Insurers use damage reports to quickly review affected properties, prioritize claims workflows, identify heavily impacted areas, and support large-scale catastrophe response efforts. For instance, after Hurricane Ian in Florida, Vexcel reviewed more than 3.5 million properties and provided property-level damage reports for all of them.
Q: How quickly is disaster imagery available after a post-CAT event?
Vexcel Gray Sky imagery is collected once weather and flight conditions allow. After collection, imagery is rapidly processed and published to help insurers access current aerial views of impacted areas as quickly as possible during catastrophe response. Vexcel collects Gray Sky imagery across the United States and Australia and also supports on-demand disaster response collections in other countries.
Q: Can insurers compare before-and-after imagery for claims verification?
Yes. Vexcel provides timestamped historical and post-event imagery that allows insurers to compare before-and-after conditions at the property level. These comparisons help claims teams review damage, verify loss conditions, and better understand how properties changed after a catastrophic event.
