We measure the ground
Our sensors read the rain, rivers and soil, backed by a decade of data.
How we measure the flood.
iGrid combines sensors on the ground and satellites above into one flood score for any location.

iGrid scores a single address or a whole book in one pass.

How it works.
Three steps to one number.
We watch from above
Satellites see the water from space and map any flood within hours.
We turn it into one score
Our models turn it into one flood score, 0 to 100, for any address.

When a flood hits, iGrid maps its reach within hours.
What you get.
One answer, for one address or a whole country.
The score
A flood score, 0 to 100.
How likely a flood is and how deep it could get, for one home or a whole portfolio.
The map
A map of any flood.
We map exactly where a flood reached, within hours.
The delivery
However you work.
A report, a data file, or a live feed into your systems.
The coverage
Every kind of flood.
Rain, rivers, coast and groundwater, across Africa.
Who it's for.
Insurers
Price the risk
Quote, reserve and reinsure flood cover with confidence.
Governments
Plan and protect
See where the flood will hit, plan ahead, and pay out fast.
Business & lenders
Know your exposure
Know the flood risk behind a property, a loan, or a supply chain.
You can trust the number.
Every score can be traced to what it was built from, and the same inputs always give the same number. Every model is tested against real past floods first.
The full method and test results are available to partners under NDA.
One engine. Every address in Africa.
From one roof to a whole country, in a single pass.
