Abstract: In a computer-implemented method, disaster location data indicating a location (e.g., latitude and longitude) of a natural disaster may be received, and a location (e.g., latitude and longitude) of a risk (such as a property or home) may be determined. A distance between the location of the natural disaster and the location of the risk may be calculated. It may be determined that the risk is, or is not, insurable at least in part by comparing the calculated distance to a threshold distance. In response to determining that the property is, or is not, insurable, a user interface may be caused to provide an indication that the risk is, or is not, insurable, respectively. When a property is determined to be insurable, the method may facilitate providing property insurance covering properties that otherwise would not be eligible or qualify for insurance as a result of the natural disaster.
