WEBSITES

Below is a list of websites that we have used over the years to help track and monitor different event from Wildfires to Hurricanes.

​

We also found the Post-Event Imagery websites particularly useful when  working with Claims in calculating estimated losses.  If you have a large risk that is driving the numbers you can investigate using this post imagery. If the risk was damaged/undamaged you can alter your estimate accordingly.

Post Event Imagery

Imagery

​Emergency Response Imagery

​

Post event satellite and drone imagery in the United States. Provided by the NOAA Remote Sensing Division. 

 

This is a great tool to tweak your modelled losses to improve your loss estimate accuracy. Also a great tool for your claims department.

Wildfire

Wildfire

​California Wildfires

 

​Track and monitor the latest California Wildfires. Locations are approximate, but can assist in identifying possible risks that are exposed while waiting for your vendor to release a footprint.

NASA EARTH DATA

 

Download active fire products from NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)(MCD14DL) and NASA's Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) for the last 24, 48 hours and 7 days in shapefile, KML, WMS or text file formats. VIIRS data complement MODIS fire detections but the improved spatial resolution of the 375 m data provides a greater response over fires of relatively small areas.

Data Science / Climate Change​
 

Global warming is one of the most pressing and severe challenges confronting our planet. This urgent problem is primarily fueled by the rising levels of greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide in the Earth's atmosphere. 

Data science is a powerful tool in the fight against global warming. It uses different methods, such as machine learning (where computers learn from data) and data visualization (turning data into pictures), to analyze the details and understand the most challenging components of climate change.
