General

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.

Earthquake

United States Geological Survey

Keep up to date on the latest Earthquakes with this interactive map by the USGS. See current and historical data on earthquakes from date and location to strength and depth.

Japan Seismic Hazard Information Station

J-SHIS was established to help prevent and prepare for earthquake disaster by providing a public portal for seismic hazard information across Japan.

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.

Fire Information for Resource Managment System

Track and monitor the latest Wildfires from 7 days to date. Using MODIS and VIIRS

NASA World View

This service is just not for Wildfires but can be used for multiple events. It offers time line Satellite imagery. The resolution is not that great its still useful.

Flood

Environmental Agency

UK Flood Agency, Track and keep up-to-date with the latest Flood warnings and identify flood areas.

Coastal Exposure Flood Mapper

Interactive NOAA map to track and keep up-to-date with the latest Flood warnings and identify coastal flood areas.

Hurricane

National Hurricane Centre

Monitor and track the latest Hurricanes/Cyclones that are developing around the World.

Historical Hurricane Tracks

NOAA provides this online tool that allows you to look back at historical hurricane tracks.

Coastal Emergency Risk Assessment

A computer model with a 25 year track record of success, to calculate storm surge corresponding to the latest official hurricane forecast track.

Storm surge maps on an interactive web mapper (CERA) to help understand the potential impacts and timing of storm surge.
