Drones Digital Twins and Hurricane Damage: Replacing Manual Inspections at Scale

Position paper proposing drone-captured digital twins as replacements for manual post-hurricane damage inspections. Examines how autonomous drone fleets can create 3D damage assessments at scale, reducing response times from weeks to hours. Proposes integration with insurance claim systems and FEMA damage assessment protocols for automated loss quantification.
