5 Key Takeaways: How Drones Transform Hurricane Preparedness
Briefly

Coastal homeowners can use drones to inspect roofs, gutters, and other hard-to-reach areas to identify hurricane-related vulnerabilities and document pre- and post-storm conditions. Insurance companies and contractors increasingly rely on drone footage for damage assessment, claims documentation, and to produce accurate repair quotes. Clear aerial photos and video reduce disputes between homeowners and contractors and accelerate repairs. Homeowners should capture images on calm, sunny or lightly cloudy days with minimal wind, collect multiple angles, and retain timestamped footage for insurance and maintenance records. Investing in drone technology can support coverage requirements and improve property resilience.
Drones provide a safe way to inspect roofs and other areas that are difficult to access, helping to document conditions before and after storms for insurance claims. Contractors can use drone footage to assess damage, spot missing shingles, blocked gutters, and water pooling on roofs, enhancing their ability to provide accurate quotes and proposals to homeowners. Drones offer clear photos and videos that build trust and prevent misunderstandings between contractors and homeowners, enabling timely repairs and maintenance.
