Abstract
In an approach to automated protection of delivered packages, a computer receives information associated with a package delivery. A computer determines a recipient is not present for the package delivery. A computer predicts a time of arrival of the recipient. A computer determines a duration of time prior to the arrival of the recipient exceeds a pre-defined threshold. A computer determines one or more environmental conditions of an area surrounding a delivery location. A computer determines at least one of the one or more environmental conditions indicates a need for an ameliorative action associated with the package delivery. A computer determines one or more ameliorative actions. A computer instructs a delivery resource to perform the one or more ameliorative actions. A computer instructs the delivery resource to deliver the package.
