How LiDAR Supports Disaster Response

After a natural disaster or structural emergency, accurate documentation is critical. LiDAR scanning provides a safe and fast way to capture the current condition of a site without the need for physical inspection in hazardous areas.

Key benefits include:

• Non-contact data collection – Scanning can occur without disturbing debris or damaged structures.
• Rapid capture – Teams can scan large areas quickly to aid in time-sensitive insurance or recovery efforts.
• 3D documentation – Helps stakeholders understand the scope of the damage.
• Legal and insurance support – Detailed scans can be included in claims or assessment reports.
• Historical records – Preserves the original condition for future reference or rebuilding.

When emergencies occur, LiDAR site scanning can support quicker and safer recovery with reliable visual documentation.
