Abstract: A system and a method for computing infrastructural damages is disclosed. In particular, the present invention provides for identifying one or more potential areas to be impacted during a predicted calamity and classifying the one or more potential areas based on severity of impact in said areas. Further, a first group of datasets associated with one or more potential areas are generated. A pre-calamity data is generated based on the first group of datasets using one or more processing techniques. Further, the present invention provides for generating a post-calamity data based on a second group of datasets associated with respective one or more geographical areas actually affected by the predicted calamity. The damage associated with each of the said properties is computed based on at least one of a comparison between the pre-calamity and the post-calamity data, or based on the post-calamity data.
