HailDetected Software

HailDetected is a web application that utilizes National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) hail related data to help users detect, understand, and respond to hail events that have occurred and their potential to have caused damage to buildings at particular locations. Estimates of hail probability, fall location, and hail size are based on NEXRAD radar data and standard weather algorithms.

The HailDetected software application is intended to be useful to end users such as: (1) insurance claim adjusters and insurance attorneys (e.g. looking for evidence that roof damage could have been caused by hail) and (2) roofing companies (e.g. needing to decide when and where to market their services, and to help clients make hail damage insurance claims).
