Industry Use Case - P&C Insurance: Parcel Elevation and Slope

Industry Challenge

Goal

Provide underwriters with precise and actionable property elevation and slope data to assess natural hazard risks efficiently. Improving the accuracy of risk evaluations and informed decision making in the underwriting process.

Issues

Manual or outdated methods for assessing evaluation and slope can lead to inaccuracies, increased liability and missed risk indicators.

Need

A reliable, data-driven approach that utilizes USGS's 3D Elevation Program that could deliver critical evaluation metrics, including minimum, maximum and mid-point values.

First American Can Solve It

First American Data & Analytics can find properties using your specific criteria.

Parcel Elevation and Slope

Underwriters can validate property elevation and slope, two critical natural hazard indicators. This data is based on USGS's 3D Elevation Program. The contour lines represent elevation in feet above sea level. For larger parcels, a minimum , maximum and mid point elevation value is produced.

Key Benefits

Location data improves risk assessment, saves time, and reduces liability by displaying critical metrics. Enhancing transparency with visualized control line data for easier decision making.
