In July and August 2021, heavy rain hit Northern Europe, followed by Hurricane Ida in the US and the Caribbean, resulting in billions of dollars of loss for the insurance market. With the capability to see through darkness and clouds, ICEYE was able to generate data on the flood depths and define the number of impacted buildings within hours of the occurrence enabling insurers to take immediate action to respond to their client’s needs.
For this panel discussion, Matthew Grant will be joined by Nathan Uhlenbrock, Solutions Architect at ICEYE and Rosina Smith, Head of Product at McKenzie Intelligence Services. They will walk through the process of how ICEYE deployed its synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites during these events, gathered the data, and provided its insurance and other clients with key information including flood depth. Ultimately, the speakers will discuss the future of how this data can be transformed into insights for decision-making.
