Hurricane Helene recently swept through parts of Florida, leaving severe damage in its wake. Homes were flooded, trees were uprooted, and entire neighborhoods were left in disarray. One of our lender clients needed immediate assessments across dozens of their properties to determine the extent of damage and prioritize repairs and sending their own team wasn’t a viable option.

They turned to ProxyPics, knowing we could quickly deploy local data collectors, or Proxies, to each affected site to assess key areas of concern, including roof damage, fallen trees, flooding, and structural integrity.Our proxies delivered photos and disaster reports directly from the field, showing the condition of each property. This gave the lender an immediate understanding of which properties required urgent repairs, which ones could wait, and which ones needed to be temporarily closed for safety.

Instead of waiting for access or risking their own staff in dangerous post-storm environments, they had immediate visibility on the situation. After reports started coming in, our operations team received the following email: 

"These reports came back faster than expected. You really saved us a lot of time and stress during an already chaotic situation. Thanks, guys."

– Regional Property Manager, Lender Client
