Crowdsource Your Damage Assessment with Drones

Hurricane Laura is but another example.

Chainsaws are not the only thing buzzing in the wake of Hurricane Laura. See Amateur Drone to Aid in Natural Disaster Damage Assessment.

You have another opportunity to do a damage estimate by crowdsourcing your information on damages by tapping into amateur drone video posted to social media. 

Don't ignore this wonderful opportunity to get a bird's-eye view of the damages. All at no cost to you!
