Abstract: A method for identifying whether a house qualifies for homeowner's insurance is provided. The method includes receiving, by a computer system, from a user device, an indication of the house. The computer system is operated on behalf of an entity that issues homeowner's insurance, The user device is operated by a prospective purchaser of the house, and the indication is sufficient to identify the house. The method also includes retrieving, from a first database, characteristics linked with the house. The characteristics include one or more geohazard characteristics. The method further includes determining, whether the house qualifies for homeowner's insurance by the entity that issues homeowner's insurance using the characteristics linked with the house, storing, data indicating whether the house qualifies for homeowner's insurance, and transmitting to the user device of the prospective purchaser, the indication of whether the house qualifies for homeowner's insurance.
