CoreLogic Introduces Natural Hazard and Parcel Data Product
July 13, 2011CoreLogic announced a new offering that will help emergency responders and local governments improve their emergency planning, preparedness and response efforts in the event of a natural hazard. The new offering bundles the company's detailed natural hazard geospatial data, risk models and comprehensive parcel database to provide city and county officials a more accurate picture of potential hazard exposure in their region.
According to the announcement, using advanced scientific models, this latest offering from CoreLogic, unique in its ability to offer a full complement of hazard information, provides comprehensive vulnerability analysis for an array of natural hazards, including sinkholes, wildfires, hail, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes and other damaging wind storms. The customizable offering also offers precise analysis of the geographic and typographic attributes that can enhance or mitigate natural disasters, such as soil susceptibility to earthquakes, flood risk based on water flow patterns, levees, coastal storm surge, land elevation and proximity to rivers.
"Disaster response plans are far more effective when local officials have sound data and analysis upon which to base their decisions," said Scott Little, vice president and general manager of the Spatial Solutions group at CoreLogic. "With comprehensive natural hazard data and analytics that provide an unmatched level of accuracy and granularity, local planners can respond faster and with greater precision when disaster strikes. This offering can also be an asset to project managers, civil engineers and county planners charged with approving new development, constructing critical infrastructure and monitoring wetlands and environmentally sensitive areas."
