/resources/how-satellites-are-replacing-adjusters-in-the-race-for-urban-survival

Satellites, sensors, and parametric triggers are changing disaster finance by replacing slow loss adjustment with fast, rules-based liquidity. This Govstar resource explains how cities can use high-resolution data to fund emergency operations before traditional insurance or FEMA reimbursement catches up. Topics include parametric insurance, liquidity horizons, basis risk, negative basis risk, second-generation triggers, SAR flood mapping, depth-duration-area metrics, urban wind tunnels, sewer surcharge, subway portals, micro-zonal coverage, DOB controls, 44 CFR 206, 2 CFR 200 procurement, anti-donation issues, compound hazards, and climate-conditioned modeling. **Character count:** ~676 characters.
