As part of this relation- ship, an insightful tool for lenders called Disas- terVision has been launched, providing lenders with contextual insight regarding potentially impacted properties in the lender's portfolio that lie within a natural disaster area. "is association speaks to who we are as a com- pany," DataVerify President Brad Bogel said. "We are continually looking for ways to offer lenders more protection and helpful data without reducing effi- ciency. We believe that working with Veros allows us to offer lenders another tool to help strengthen their portfolios without sacrificing workflow automation." Veros leverages, among other sources, satellite imagery, federal/state agency reports, and data from FEMA and NOAA to provide lend- ers with current information as data is continu- ally updated throughout the disaster event. Veros also partners with reliable, experienced property condition/inspection providers, offers nation- wide coverage, and ensures eyes on a property following a disaster. e DisasterVision results are provided at the property level, offering more granularity and accuracy to lenders than the less precise county level data provided by FEMA. "We are excited to work with DataVerify and their customers," said Sarah Acosta, VP of Product & Data Operations. "DisasterVision is the key solution to gaining post-natural disaster property risk intelligence that helps to simplify and expedite the process for DataVerify custom- ers, providing more convenience and consistency with fewer handoff delays. In situations with Hurricane Ian, for instance, it is important to know right away which properties are potentially impacted to get aid to those homeowners first." rough DisasterVision, lenders gain the ability to acquire property-specific data, portfolio analysis, and valuation. Veros can also work closely with lenders when a known natural disaster is about to occur, such as a hurricane that has yet to make landfall, and provide continuous and near real-time updates. DataVerify is proud to offer an innovative new way for lenders to re- main informed and prepared in uncertain times.
