Data & Coverage
One Intelligence Partner. A World of Hazards.
Global natural disaster, severe weather, and human-induced threat intelligence—all through one connected platform.
Disasters and disruptive events take many forms. From hurricanes, earthquakes, and wildfires to floods, severe thunderstorms, winter storms, and human-induced threats, organizations need a comprehensive understanding of the hazards that could affect their customers, assets, and operations.
DisasterAWARE delivers global, multi-hazard intelligence covering more than 30 hazard types, combining authoritative warnings, scientific observations, proprietary detection, geographic hazard footprints, and enriched historical catastrophe information.
Our intelligence helps technology providers understand what may happen, what is happening, what actually occurred, and which locations or populations may be affected.
Instead of maintaining separate integrations for every hazard and data source, access a connected intelligence foundation designed for insurance, risk intelligence, supply chain, business continuity, and AI-powered applications.
One integration. Multiple hazards. A more complete understanding of risk.
