The data wrangling and data sourcing becomes an immense task that takes you and your organization away from creating the new analytical methods that keep you at the top of your industry.

Determining individual property flood risk, calculating premium pricing, evaluating large scale catastrophe peril – your decisions are a function of your analytics and geospatial data. BuildingFootprintUSA’s innovative data provides the ingredients for your increasingly sophisticated analysis.
At BuildingFootprintUSA, we talk to customers in the flood industry who want a few things:

- You want to access data that supports sophisticated flood analytics decision-making
- You want to use both basic and more complex next generation datasets and models
- You need to see the value of these new data solutions – new analytics on top of new data should drive lower implementation costs, more accurate peril identification resulting in accurate pricing, reduced uncertainty, and higher customer satisfaction
We built the New Data Stack for Flood Peril to support your flood analytics and decision making. Implement and utilize the data elements at your pace. We will use two properties to demonstrate these new data element – a higher value residential home on an acre of land, and a large commercial manufacturing facility. Both of these properties are in areas of growing flood risk.

Typically, flood determination is performed in one of two ways. You test a building’s parcel to determine if it intersects a flood zone, or a point geocode (street level, postcode level, parcel centroid) would approximate the location of the building and would be used as the testing point. With either method you use an approximation for your high dollar decision.
How can our new data stack provide you with the ingredients that you need to make better, higher accuracy decisions?
