Publication number: 20240087042Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods are provided for performing insurance property loss mitigation processes based on an event driven probable roof loss confidence score based on a particular weather event, the event driven probable roof loss confidence score associated with a roof of a building. An example method may include receiving a base-line probable roof loss confidence score for the building. The method may further include receiving weather data associated with the particular weather event, that occurred in the geographic area of the building, and hail data associated with the particular weather event. The method also may include estimating at least one attribute of the one or more attributes, and generating the event driven probable roof loss confidence score based on the base-line probable roof loss confidence score, the weather data, the hail data, and the at least one estimated attribute.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Joshua M.
