Aerial Imaging
Vertical & Oblique (45-degree) Imaging
High-resolution aerial imagery is captured by aircraft at least twice a year, though the frequency may vary depending on the region. The coverage area includes 80% of the U.S. population. Oblique imagery is captured from all four directions—north, south, east, and west—providing a comprehensive perspective of the area.
Post-Disaster Imaging
In the aftermath of major disasters, imaging is updated within 24-48 hours, providing critical information to property owners, property managers, insurance companies, and other stakeholders on potential damage to properties, especially during evacuations.
