Government disaster verification of loss is paramount for eligibility with disaster assistance, yet this effort has constraints that hinder the expeditious delivery of federal assistance. Disaster verification of loss is challenged by type of incident, geographical location, environment/weather conditions (e.g. volcano activity), large scale fires, or health and safety hazards to survivors and government employees. 10x will explore the idea of a secure mechanism for disaster survivors to upload geotagged photos and videos of damaged property, showing the area(s) of concern, which will enable the government to perform faster verification, reduce the amount of home inspections, increase the accuracy and efficiency of remote inspection, reduce costs, and ensure the safety of the survivor and government staff.
