Data & Coverage
Global Reach. Authoritative Sources. One Intelligence Partner.
Comprehensive disaster and severe weather intelligence from an expanding global network of trusted sources.
Disasters do not recognize borders. Neither should the intelligence organizations rely on to understand them.
DisasterAWARE brings together authoritative warnings, scientific observations, environmental monitoring networks, satellite detections, historical catastrophe records, and geospatial intelligence from sources around the world.
From national meteorological agencies and global earthquake catalogs to wildfire detection systems, flood monitoring networks, and human-induced threat reporting, we transform fragmented information into structured intelligence that technology providers can integrate into their products.
Our global intelligence foundation combines broad geographic coverage with hazard-specific depth, including detailed observed footprints, severity measurements, and associated impacts where available.
Rather than building and maintaining dozens—or hundreds—of independent data integrations, access a unified intelligence partner designed to support global risk monitoring, catastrophe analysis, and operational decision-making.
One integration. Global intelligence. Local relevance.
Global Intelligence Built from Authoritative Sources, Scientific Data & Proprietary Enrichment.
Extensive Global Warning & Alert Coverage
Access natural disaster and severe weather warnings from an expanding network of national meteorological, hydrological, and disaster management agencies.
DisasterAWARE integrates Common Alerting Protocol (CAP) feeds alongside other authoritative warning sources, bringing geographically distributed alerts into a consistent intelligence framework.
Our warning network includes 139 live CAP services, with coverage extending across a broad range of countries and territories.
Supported warning intelligence includes:
Available records can include geographic warning polygons, hazard classifications, severity, timing, source attribution, and updates.
By integrating authoritative warning networks through a single service, DisasterAWARE helps technology providers expand their geographic reach without independently maintaining every source.
- •Severe thunderstorms, damaging winds, hail, and tornadoes.
- •Flooding, flash floods, and coastal hazards.
- •Hurricanes, tropical cyclones, and related severe weather.
- •Winter storms, extreme temperatures, and other meteorological threats.
- •Additional natural hazards and emergency alerts supported by individual agencies.

Global Hazard Detection & Observed Intelligence
Official warnings are only one component of disaster awareness.
DisasterAWARE combines observations from scientific institutions, satellite systems, environmental monitoring networks, and authoritative incident reporting to help identify where disasters are occurring and how conditions evolve.
Examples include:
Earthquakes & Tsunamis
Global earthquake observations from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), supplemented by available ground-shaking products and tsunami information from authoritative warning and monitoring organizations.
Wildfires
Satellite fire detections from NASA FIRMS, complemented by authoritative wildfire incident and perimeter information from supported national and regional agencies.
Hurricanes & Tropical Cyclones
Global tropical cyclone monitoring and historical best-track information from meteorological agencies and international datasets, including IBTrACS.
Severe Convective Storms
Hail, damaging wind, and tornado intelligence derived from authoritative storm reports, radar observations, damage surveys, and related scientific datasets.
Flooding
Flood warnings, hydrological observations, river gauge measurements, scientific flood models, and available flood extent and depth information.
Additional Natural & Human-Induced Hazards
Information about other supported natural hazards, operational disruptions, and human-induced incidents from authoritative sources and monitored open-source reporting.
Together, these sources help organizations move beyond forecasts and warnings to understand actual hazard conditions.
Geographic Depth, Hazard Footprints & Historical Coverage
Global event awareness is important, but the depth of available intelligence differs across hazards and geographies.
DisasterAWARE combines broad global monitoring with detailed regional and hazard-specific datasets.
Examples include:
Our historical disaster database contains approximately 680,000 hazard records across more than 30 hazard types, with enriched event information available according to source, geography, and historical period.
This combination of global breadth and geographic depth allows technology partners to select the intelligence most relevant to their applications.
- •United States: Detailed tornado damage surveys, radar-derived hail swaths, severe wind observations, flood gauges, high-water marks, and other enhanced catastrophe records.
- •Global Earthquakes: Historical earthquake catalogs, authoritative event parameters, and available USGS ShakeMap ground-shaking information.
- •Global Tropical Cyclones: Historical tracks, intensity information, and available wind radii across ocean basins.
- •Wildfires: Global satellite fire detections, with additional incident, perimeter, and historical detail in supported regions.
- •Floods: Global warning and model-based information, with more detailed observed and historical hydrological datasets in selected regions.
- •Smoke: Available satellite-derived smoke footprints and supporting air-quality information, with particularly detailed historical coverage in North America.
Unified Intelligence, Source Transparency & Enterprise Delivery
Managing global hazard information involves more than collecting feeds.
Different sources use different hazard classifications, geographic formats, measurement standards, update frequencies, and reporting conventions.
DisasterAWARE organizes supported information into a more consistent intelligence framework while retaining important source and measurement context.
Our capabilities include:
Technology partners gain access to a broader intelligence foundation without needing to recreate the underlying source integration and enrichment infrastructure.
- •Data Normalization: Standardized hazard classifications, timestamps, geographic information, and available severity attributes.
- •Source Attribution: Identification of originating agencies, scientific products, and supporting evidence.
- •Geographic Enrichment: Available warning polygons, observed hazard footprints, modeled threat areas, and other spatial information.
- •Event Correlation: Association of related reports, observations, and geographic evidence with relevant hazard records.
- •Data Quality Context: Distinctions between measured, estimated, modeled, and reported information where supported.
- •Enterprise Access: Delivery through APIs, webhooks, historical data services, geospatial services, and AI-native integrations.
