An approach for determining an infrastructure service interruption is disclosed. The approach relies on utilizing UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicle) to map electronic signals (e.g., Wi-Fi, etc.) that emanates from building structures (e.g., residential, commercial, etc.). Electronic signals having a certain frequency or multiple frequencies may be used. Essentially, the approach can detect power/signal loss by comparing differences in Wi-Fi signal maps pre and post event (e.g., severe thunderstorm, etc.). The 24/7 event monitoring is carried out by using UAVs and the UAVs can operate on a regular or event driven schedule vs. continuously operating multiple fixed data collection units.
