Hurricane Documentation

Hurricane & Property Documentation

Clear aerial imagery can create a useful visual record of a property before or after a hurricane or major storm. BlueJay photographs the property from above so homeowners and property managers have organized imagery they can save and reference later.

Before & After

Before the Storm / After the Storm

Before a Storm

  • Photograph overall roof appearance
  • Document exterior structures
  • Capture landscaping, driveways, pools, sheds & fences
  • Create a dated visual record of general property appearance

After a Storm

  • Capture updated aerial imagery
  • Document the property's post-storm appearance
  • Photograph areas difficult or unsafe to view from the ground
  • Create imagery you can share with contractors, managers, or insurers
Why It Helps

Why Before-and-After Documentation Matters

Having imagery from more than one point in time can make it easier to understand — and communicate — how a property's visible exterior appearance changed. It's a practical reference, not a technical determination of what caused any change.

Coverage

What We Can Document

Roof Exterior walls Attached structures Detached structures Driveways Landscaping Pool areas Fences Visible exterior features

Actual coverage depends on property layout, airspace, safety, visibility, and access.

FAQ

Common Questions

Does BlueJay determine whether storm damage occurred?+

No. BlueJay captures imagery and does not make technical damage determinations.

Can I share the photos with my insurance company or contractor?+

Yes. You're free to save or share your imagery with whichever professionals you choose.

Should I photograph my property before hurricane season?+

Some property owners prefer to maintain a current visual record before severe weather arrives — it's a personal choice, not something BlueJay can advise on from an insurance or legal standpoint.

Can BlueJay fly immediately after a storm?+

It depends on safe weather, airspace restrictions, access, and operating conditions at the time.

Important distinction: BlueJay provides aerial imagery and visual documentation only. We do not act as an insurance adjuster, determine coverage, establish causation, or provide engineering or technical damage assessments.
