Abstract
A weather event computing device for transmitting weather notifications to policyholders is provided. The weather event computing device receives, from a weather reporting device, weather data for a region. The weather event computing device (i) determines from the weather data that the region is expected to experience a weather event, and (ii) identifies an insured property associated with the policyholder located within the region. A notification is transmitted to the policyholder's mobile device, advising the policyholder that the property may be impacted by the weather event. Pre and post-event drone or other aerial image data of insured properties may be used to estimate insurance claims for the insured, and facilitate prompt payout of insurance monies to those displaced or otherwise impacted by a weather event.
