Abstract
A method and system may assess the damage to insured properties in a neighborhood using aerial images captured from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or from a satellite device. The neighborhood may be selected by identifying a neighborhood affected by a catastrophe and having a large concentration of properties which are insured by a particular insurance provider. Aerial images of the entire neighborhood may then be captured and received from the UAV or the satellite device. For each insured property in the neighborhood, a condition and the extent and/or severity of the damage may be automatically determined based on the received aerial images. The aerial images along with indications of the extent of the damage may be displayed.
