LARGE SCALE ANALYSIS OF CATASTROPHIC WEATHER DAMAGE

摘要

Estimating storm damage on a large scale includes collecting geospatial data from a plurality of sensors disparately situated in a defined geographic area; collecting the geospatial data occurs before and during a determined or simulated significant weather event. Geospatial property attribute information for each of a plurality of real property structures within the defined geographic area is also provided. A supercomputer estimates a magnitude and duration of significant weather event forces at points associated with each of the plurality of real property structures according to a significant weather event model in order to produce at least one model output data set. The model output data set is applied to the geospatial property attribute information and, based on the application of model output data, damage to the plurality of real property structures is automatically estimated.

1. A property damage estimate method, comprising:
collecting geospatial data from a plurality of sensors disparately situated in a defined geographic area, the collecting occurring before and during a determined significant weather event; providing geospatial property attribute information for each of a plurality of real property structures within the defined geographic area; estimating, with a super-computing capable device, a magnitude and duration of significant weather event forces at points associated with each of the plurality of real property structures according to at least one significant weather event model to produce at least one model output data set; applying data from the at least one model output data set to the geospatial property attribute information; and based on application of model output data set data to the geospatial property attribute information, automatically estimating damage to the plurality of real property structures.
