An important mission of the VDP is to have the insurance
industry lead the way in improving response and relief efforts
following disasters, and reducing FRAUD after major events.
VDP is doing this by transforming how critical information and
imagery is collected and disseminated, driving a coordinated
effort across local, state and federal agencies and responders.
VDP also aims to increase public awareness of these important
initiatives, and in doing so improve the perception of the insurance
industry’s positive impact when it matters most
Currently for the CA wildfires, FEMA and the National Guard calculate
that the VDP Imagery has been the definitive source in 60% of the
overall damage assessment and response.
