History of PropertyEDGE
PropertyEDGE originally launched in 2013, conceived as a means to expand insurance professionals' toolbox - a one-stop resource for a broad range of information on properties in Washington.
A web-based product, PropertyEDGE utilized GIS technology to provide insurance professionals with information on weather, land, natural hazards, fire protection, and demographics. Features included:
- Ability to locate WSRB rated buildings, reports, loss costs, and protection classes
- Access to wildfire boundaries, earthquake fault lines, tsunami and FEMA flood zones to better evaluate natural hazard exposures
- Tools to measure distance, area, and slope to better determine adjacent exposure, values, and slope related concerns
In 2017, WSRB launched an updated version of PropertyEDGE. The new version brought a host of improvements, including:
- Faster load times
- Single-line address look-up and greater look-up capabilities, enabling search with incomplete/inaccurate addresses
- Greater browser compatibility
