Systems and methods for utilizing electricity monitoring devices to mitigate or prevent structural damage

A system configured to determine occupancy of a structure at a time of an abnormal event, the system comprising:

• an electricity monitoring device positioned in a vicinity of an electrical distribution board of the structure;
• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer memories storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed via the one or more processors cause the electricity monitoring device to wirelessly detect electricity flow to a plurality of electric devices associated with the structure, the electricity flow indicating electrical usage of the plurality of electric devices;
• wherein execution of the computer-executable instructions via the one or more processors causes the one or more processors to:
• build an electricity profile for the structure comprising electrical data in the one or more computer memories based upon the electrical usage of the plurality of electric devices, the electricity profile comprising first expected electricity characteristics when the structure is occupied by one or more persons and second expected electricity characteristics when the structure is unoccupied by one or more persons;
• receive an input indicating that the abnormal event occurred at a particular time resulting in damage to the structure;
• identify event electrical data from the electrical data in the one or more computer memories, the event electrical data comprising a portion of the electrical data associated with electricity flow wirelessly detected via the electricity monitoring device during a time period including the particular time the damage occurred to the structure;
• and
• determine whether the structure was occupied by one or more persons at the particular time based upon comparing the event electrical data to the electricity profile stored in the one or more computer memories.

A system configured to determine occupancy of a structure at a time of an abnormal event, the system comprising:

• an electricity monitoring device positioned adjacent an electrical distribution board of the structure to wirelessly detect electricity flow to each of a plurality of electric devices associated with the structure, the electricity flow indicating electrical usage of the plurality of electric devices;
• and
• one or more processors in communication with one or more storage devices storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed via the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:
• build an electricity profile for the structure comprising electrical data stored in the one or more storage devices based upon the electrical usage of the plurality of electric devices, the electricity profile comprising first expected electricity consumption when the structure is occupied by one or more persons and second expected electricity characteristics when the structure is unoccupied by one or more persons;
• receive an input indicating that the abnormal event occurred at a particular time resulting in damage to the structure;
• respond to receipt of the input that the abnormal event occurred at the particular time resulting in damage to the structure by identifying event electrical data from the electrical data in the one or more storage devices, the event electrical data comprising a portion of the electrical data associated with electricity flow wirelessly detected via the electricity monitoring device during a time period including the particular time the damage occurred to the structure;
• and
• determine whether the structure was occupied by one or more persons at the particular time based upon comparing the event electrical data to the electricity profile stored in the one or more storage devices.
