McKenzie Intelligence Services (MIS), a provider of geospatial intelligence, and Eagleview, a developer of advanced geospatial technology, have announced a collaboration to strengthen the insurance industry’s capabilities in responding to large-scale events across North America.
The partnership combines MIS’s rapid and precise military-grade intelligence analysis with Eagleview’s high-resolution aerial imagery captured before and after catastrophic events.
Together, the organisations aim to provide clients with comprehensive insights that support faster and more informed decision-making following natural disasters.
As part of this collaboration, MIS clients will have access to Eagleview’s extensive library of aerial imagery, including both historical and future captures.
This coverage spans a wide range of perils, including hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, and wildfires, enabling MIS analysts to deliver post-event assessments with improved accuracy and efficiency.

Eagleview clients will gain access to the GEO platform, which includes a historical archive of over 200 global events.
Within this secure environment, clients can integrate their own portfolio data and benefit from verified analysis provided by the MIS team, including exposure, claims, and building-level assessments. These insights are designed to support timely, evidence-based claims decisions shortly after an event.
Through this collaboration, both organisations aim to provide the insurance industry with a more integrated approach to understanding and responding to natural catastrophes, enhancing risk assessment and operational response capabilities.
Forbes McKenzie, CEO and Founder of MIS, added: “We could not be more delighted to be collaborating with Eagleview. This transformative partnership further establishes GEO as the go-to disaster response platform for carriers and matches the best intelligence on the market with the best aerial imagery on the market.
“Ultimately, this provides the insurance community with a one-stop shop to understand how their business has been affected and inform their decision-making in the immediate aftermath of any catastrophic event in North America.”
Over the past year, MIS has produced detailed intelligence reports on 25 catastrophic events in North America and monitored an additional 42 events, encompassing a variety of perils including Hurricane Helene, Hurricane Milton, the May 2025 tornado outbreak, and the Los Angeles wildfires.
During the same period, Eagleview captured aerial imagery covering 34,000 km² across North America. A total of 60 flights documented the impact of 26 distinct catastrophic events, spanning hazards such as hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, and other natural disasters.
David Bairstow, SVP and General Manager of Eagleview, commented: “We’re truly thrilled to be working with MIS. Bringing these leading market offerings together will deliver major benefits for our users.
“This move signals a major evolution in how both organisations serve the insurance marketplace, with the shared goal of continuing to give carriers the information they need, when they need most it, as the impact North American
catastrophes worsen year-on-year.”
