Previsico, the live flood forecasting insurtech, has partnered with Snapshot Live to integrate live visual monitoring into its Flood Intelligence Platform, enhancing flood risk forecasting.
Snapshot Live provides AI-powered remote visual intelligence, helping organisations eliminate operational blind spots in locations where traditional monitoring solutions fall short.
Snapshot Live’s solar-powered, off-grid cellular cameras are deployed at flood-prone locations and capture images on a scheduled basis or in response to live alerts, with frequency increasing automatically as forecast risk rises.
This gives flood risk teams immediate visual confirmation of conditions without the need for site visits, allowing them to identify blocked culverts, debris build-up, or deteriorating drainage in real time before an event escalates.
Previsico’s integration enables earlier identification of emerging risks, faster deployment decisions, fewer unnecessary call-outs, and stronger post-event documentation for damage assessment and insurance purposes.
Customers such as National Highways are already seeing the benefits of this combined intelligence, enabling them to carry out critical preventative measures.
Dr Steven Hayward, IoT Systems Manager at Previsico, commented, “Snapshot Live has given our customers a proactive edge, identifying debris build-up in culverts early enough to dispatch maintenance teams before the rain even starts. During active events, having a reliable eye on the ground is invaluable.”
Roger Poeth, CCO of Snapshot Live, said, “Together we help teams move beyond point-based sensing and gain critical context as flood risk evolves. Seeing is believing and we’re delivering that clarity when it matters most.”
Andrew Simpson, Structures Engineer at National Highways, added, “The sensors and cameras have allowed us to carry out preventative debris clearance from our structures and reduced the risk of future flooding significantly.”
