SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading aerial imagery and location intelligence company Nearmap has announced a major expansion of its post-catastrophe program, Nearmap ImpactResponse. The program allows users to assess, prioritize and respond to the magnitude of catastrophes, helping organizations including property and casualty insurance providers, emergency services, government agencies, property management firms, construction, and engineering firms to better plan a disaster response, and manage rebuilding and recovery efforts.

“Nearmap customers have told us aerial imagery, location data, and geospatial tools enable them to rapidly assess and understand the situation on the ground following natural disasters, at a time when ground access is limited, and inspection resources are stretched,” Tony Agresta, General Manager of North America, Nearmap said. “At these critical times, Nearmap ImpactResponse equips organizations with another powerful first line of response following natural disasters.”

Due to further demand to help these organizations, Nearmap has almost doubled its annual coverage of major weather catastrophes, on top of its regular capture program which covers more than 108 million residential, commercial and other properties. This will provide support to virtually assess and carry out recovery planning while helping streamline relief efforts to get communities back on their feet -- faster.
