    Abstract: Methods and systems for damage assessment and restoration. One system includes an electronic processor configured to receive weather data for an area of interest. The electronic processor is also configured to determine a first damage prediction for the area of interest using a damage prediction model developed with machine learning using training data, the training data including historical weather data for the area of interest and associated damage. The electronic processor is also configured to determine a restoration time estimate based on the first damage prediction for the area of interest based on different resource allocations. The electronic processor is also configured to transmit a damage assessment report for display on a user device, where the damage assessment report includes the restoration time estimate.
