1. A computer-implemented method of mitigating potential loss using drone data, the method comprising:

  • instructing, by one or more unmanned aerial vehicles, one or more sensors communicatively coupled to the one or more unmanned aerial vehicles to capture first drone data at a first date, including;

    navigating to an area surrounding an insured asset;

    collecting samples of data;

    analyzing the sample data; and

    storing the sample data as the first drone data;

    wherein the one or more sensors include at least one of a soil sample extractor, a wood sample extractor, a spectrometer, or a volumetric moisture content sensor, and wherein the first drone data corresponds to an asset insured by an insurance provider via an insurance policy;

    analyzing, by one or more processors, the first drone data corresponding to the insured asset to determine an amount of risk associated with the insured asset;

    providing, by the one or more processors, a recommendation to a policyholder on how to reduce the amount of risk to the insured asset;

    receiving, at the one or more processors, second drone data captured by the one or more sensors of the one or more unmanned aerial vehicles, wherein the second drone data corresponds to the insured asset and the second drone data is captured at a second date within a predetermined amount of time from the first date; and

    updating, by the one or more processors, insurance policy data for the insurance policy based upon whether the policyholder complies with the provided recommendation according to the second drone data to facilitate providing insurance cost savings to risk averse policyholders.
