'Cloud to Street' is a company that聽harnesses global satellites and community intelligence to detect disasters and provide flood vulnerability maps at a fraction of the cost and time of traditional methods.

Cloud to Street works with:

  1. Insurers
    Their highly accurate and automated payout trigger replaces field appraisers and enables insurers to assess damage to crops, homes, and other assets. The system can also serve as a backup to rainfall-based index insurance.

  2. Watershed and Disaster Agencies
    Our watershed-wide analytics and flood maps are updated with a click of a button. They enable authorities 聽to keep people and assets out of flood prone areas, design dykes and dams, identify wetlands, and more.
  3. Crisis Managers
    Near real-time flood monitoring system pinpoints people affected during a crisis and delivering the disaster relief needed. Managers can quickly share damage reports with everyone from international agencies to first responders.
