POINT 01
Safe property overview
Film from a safe public or authorised point, naming the property and areas you cannot access.
The example property and grounds are visible from a distance.

Storm damage visual inspection
When it is safe to record, show the affected area from a wide position before moving to visible debris, building fabric and access limits.
Hold to record. Keep holding while you film and speak; release to save the clip and its transcribed answer.
Four 9:16 example clips generated in Google Flow. Fictional inspection; no customer site is shown.
App-style example using Google Flow footage. The animated recording interface and gradually appearing words are scripted; no real inspection or live transcription took place.
The full visual example
Watch all four inspection points.
Each short clip shows one point in the guided route. The footage is AI-generated and the observations are scripted examples, not findings from a real inspection.
POINT 02
Visible debris and location
Show fallen material and its position without moving it or stepping beneath unstable objects.
A fallen branch and smaller twigs lie across a paved path in the example; their cause is not established.
POINT 03
Ground-level exterior view
Show the accessible wall and roofline only from a safe ground-level viewpoint.
A brick side elevation, roof edge and a visibly misaligned gutter section are shown from ground level; attachment and roof condition remain unconfirmed.
POINT 04
Restricted or unseen area
End by recording any cordon, blocked route or area that the camera could not safely inspect.
Barrier tape and branches mark a garden route as restricted in the example; the area beyond was not inspected.
What can a storm damage visual inspection record?
Record the location, event date if known, visit time and weather/access conditions. Do not enter an unsafe building or move debris for a better clip. The four AI-generated scenes illustrate similar post-storm conditions but are independent clips, not one real property visit. This records only what is safely visible after a reported storm. It cannot establish the cause or date of damage, structural safety, insurance coverage or claim value. Urgent hazards need the responsible emergency or competent service.

How to use the record
Make the visual evidence useful.
Identify the visit
Record the asset or site, visit stage, date and inspector. Keep each clip attached to its point and note anything inaccessible.
Describe, then escalate
Say what the camera shows and where it is. Record the next action without guessing the cause or declaring a specialist result from video.

Questions, answered
Storm damage visual inspection FAQs
Can the footage prove storm causation?
No. It shows condition at a recorded visit; cause and timing require other evidence and assessment.
Should debris be cleared before filming?
Follow immediate safety and insurer guidance; never delay urgent action for footage.
Is the video a structural safety check?
No. Refer any stability concern to a competent professional.
What is in the example report?
Four safely recorded viewpoints, stills, scripted observations, actions and access limits.
