storing, in a catalog of objects generated for the physical space, information about the physical object and indicating at least a first location of the physical object in the physical space;
receiving, from a second device, second data about the physical space, the second data sent from the second device upon or after an occurrence of an event, the second device being the same as or different from the first device;
determining, based on the second data, at least an impact area of the event to the physical space;
determining, based on the catalog of objects and the second data, whether the physical object is impacted by the event; and
causing an output indicating whether the physical object is impacted by the event.
