  • Patent number: 11645719
    Abstract: Visualizing event impact risk over time. At least one location of interest is identified on a geospatial map, and an event path is plotted on the geospatial map for an event over time. The event path includes actual and/or forecasted paths of the event. Along the event path, connected geospatial polygons are generated. The geospatial polygons represent actual and/or forecasted intensity of the event over time. A determination is made as to whether the connected geospatial polygons intersect one or more of the locations of interest indicating an impact risk for the event. Action are taken to reduce the impact risk for the location of interest.
