  6. Searching for a Property Address • Enter a complete, valid address • Street number is important! • Zip code is optional – if you don’t have one, leave it blank Garbage In/Garbage Out!

  7. Address Verification • The address you’ve entered is cleaned up and matched • CASS certification software • Standardizes the address • Fixes spelling errors • Finds zip code + 4 • Corrects suffix • Always double-check that the address returned is the correct address to search! Note: If you enter an address that does not exist in the town or zip provided, RiskMeter will find a name that is the closest match, or will give a list of alternative addresses.

  8. Report Selection Show Map Layer Run Test • List of reports shows only those available for the address entered • Two columns: • Run Test vs. Show Map Layer • Your account is only charged for ordered reports • The Map Layer can be toggled on/off on the report page as well

  10. Map Layers • Visual representation of data overlaid on street map • View different layers one at a time • Each layer has a corresponding color-coded legend Crime Scores Flood Zone Wildfire Risk

  11. Mapping Engine • Geocoding: the process of taking an address on paper and creating a point on a digital map representing that location. • Three Geocoders built into the software • Higher match rate

  12. Geocoding Accuracy • Different levels of confidence help you understand the accuracy of each match • S6 – Exact Match to Point Zip Code • S5 – Exact Point Match • S4 – Street Match • S3 – Zip+4 Match • S2 – Zip+2 Match • S1 – Zip Centroid Match • SX – Street Intersection Match 90% of lookups are S5 matches or better! RiskMeter processes a few million addresses per month

  13. Understanding Geocoding Matches – S5 • This is the most common and accurate match • S5 means that the address was coded down to the street number

  14. Understanding Geocoding Matches – S4 • Another common match that is considered accurate • S4 means the property was mapped to the center of the street segment

  15. Understanding Geocoding Matches – S3 • The next type of match in order of accuracy • With an S3 match, the system maps the location to the center of the zip code + 4 defined area

  16. Unacceptable Georesults • The RiskMeter will not provide risk information for S1 & S2 Georesults • These are not considered accurate matches • No information is better than the wrong information! • More research may be necessary to yield accurate results

  17. Address Matching • Computer-aided mapping uses address dictionaries, databases, and maps • Updates are not automatic • Zip codes change often • Many streets have more than one name • New developments and subdivisions may not be mapped out yet

  18. Alternate Ways to Search • Other search options available • Intersection tab will locate subject to that corner • Lat/Long search will give an exact match for those coordinates

  19. Using the Map Functions • To use functions in the tool-bar… • Click the radio button to the left of the word • Click once on the map or photo • Tip: Use the “Enter” key on your keyboard • The map will re-center any time you click on it to keep the property in the center.

  20. Zooming the Map In & Out 2 mi • Zoom Level represents the distance from East to West on the map. • To quickly zoom to your desired level, type in the Zoom Level box. • Use the Zoom In or Zoom Out buttons to zoom to ½ or 2x your current level. • Zoom your map to an appropriate level to get the clearest view of nearby risks! 0.25 mi

  21. Manually Placing the Subject Marker • Use this option to physically locate the property by hand. • After checking the Manual Placement button, click ONCE on the map or aerial photo to relocate the subject marker. • Advance this slide in PPT for an animation • RiskMeter will automatically recalculate your results for the new location! Technique: Zoom in and zoom out as necessary to find the location of the property. Click Right on the Rooftop Note: Only click once and allow the page to reload the test results and map.

  22. Measuring with the One-Click Ruler • Use the Distance button to find out how far away any point on the map is from the property. • E.g. Flood Zone, Shoreline, Brushfire Area, ETC. • One-Click: Locate the target and click ONCE • The measurement will BEGIN at your subject and END at your target Distance

  23. Birdseye Geocoding – Aerial Photos • Clicking the Birdseye Geocoding icon will open an aerial photo. • This photo is always synched in size and scale to the map. • The More Info button will provide specifics about the downloaded photo.

  24. Aerial Photos Note: Not all aerial photos are equal! If you zoom in on a map, RiskMeter will search for the clearest photo available. This means that you might download a new image that was taken at a different height above the ground.
