Brit Ltd. on Wednesday said it will utilize aerial imagery from the Geospatial Intelligence Center, which was created by the U.S. not-for-profit National Insurance Crime Bureau, to help evaluate damage and adjust claims following a catastrophic incident.

The insurer will use high-resolution images from GIC aircraft to help assess property damage and support catastrophe response efforts and claims adjusting, London-based Brit said in a statement.

Brit initially used GIC imagery in a pilot program for assessing claims related to the 2018 California wildfires, the statement said.

The National Insurance Crime Bureau is based in Des Plaines, Illinois.
