The Problem:
The "Resolution Gap" in Wildfire Risk
Traditional wildfire models rely on satellite data with only meters of resolution. At that scale, entire zip codes are often flagged as "uninsurable" because the data cannot see the reality on the ground.
​
CM Geodata provides the "Surgical" Alternative. We replace blurry satellite assumptions with centimeter 3D and 2D intelligence, allowing you to see the exact state of zoning, powerline, fire hazards, home hardening, and vegetation management at a specific address.
The Capture: Advanced Aerial Intelligence
The foundation of our intelligence is our commercial-grade UAV (Drone) Technology and sensors. We don't just take pictures, we capture a high-resolution digital twin of the environment with centimeter accuracy.
Centimeter Precision
Our drones, sensors, GNSS Receivers, and workflow provide a Ground Sampling Distance (GSD) as fine as 1cm, identifying specific risks and geospatial data both in high definition and precision.
Active LiDAR Sensing
Unlike standard photography and satellite imagery, our LiDAR sensors can "see through" tree canopies to measure the exact vertical distance between ground fuels and a structure’s eaves. Powerlines are detected for risk calculations.
Rapid & Localized
We provide current, site-specific data that is often years newer than available satellite imagery.
We recognize that every organization has its own risk appetite and proprietary workflows. Our platform is built to be a Flexible Data Framework.

Future-Proof Intelligence:
The Power of Historical Ground Truth
Data That Gains Value Over Time
Our high-resolution 2D and 3D captures serve as a permanent digital archive for longitudinal risk analysis and compliance auditing. These data can be a highly valuable assets to your organizations.
The wildfire landscape is constantly evolving—and so is the regulatory environment. CM Geodata’s localized 3D captures provide a "Temporal Snapshot" that remains an invaluable asset for years after the initial survey.
The Ultimate Audit Trail
Provide definitive evidence of "pre-loss" property conditions. In the event of a claim or a legal dispute, our 3D meshes and LiDAR point clouds offer an indisputable record of home hardening and mitigation efforts that existed at the time of underwriting.
Precision Change Detection
By comparing current captures with historical data, our platform can automatically detect dangerous shifts in risk—such as new vegetation growth, the accumulation of debris, or unauthorized structure additions—allowing for proactive risk management.
Dynamic Re-Calculation
As fire science evolves and new state regulations (such as updated California Defensible Space laws) are introduced, our raw 2D and 3D data can be re-processed through updated risk formulas. You can generate new, compliant risk scores years later without the cost of a new drone flight.
