Monitor Tropical Storms Every Ocean, Every Region, Every Time

Tropical storms are among the most devastating natural hazards, with impacts that reach across continents and industries. According to the World Meteorological Organization, these storms have caused an estimated $1.4 trillion in damages globally over the past 50 years, and the population in cyclone-prone regions has doubled during that time—placing more lives, assets, and operations at risk than ever before.

DisasterAWARE Enterprise provides real-time tropical storm monitoring across all of the world’s oceans—from the Pacific and Atlantic to the Indian and Southern Oceans—ensuring your organization receives timely, comprehensive coverage no matter where a storm forms or where it’s headed.

Whether you’re tracking risks to supply chains, offshore assets, or personnel, DisasterAWARE gives you the global situational awareness you need to act decisively before disaster strikes.

Actionable Reports That Go Beyond the Forecast

DisasterAWARE Enterprise delivers a suite of expert reports for every official tropical storm advisory, helping your team make informed decisions with speed and confidence. These situational awareness products are created using data from authoritative agencies, applied science partners, and our own proprietary models.

Each advisory includes four key reports:

Situational Awareness Report
Exposure Report

Estimates the number of people, households, and critical infrastructure in the path of damaging winds, helping you understand who and what is at risk.

Situational Awareness Report
Multi-Hazard Forecast Track

Displays the storm’s projected path with three distinct forecast models covering wind, rainfall, and storm surge threats.

Situational Awareness Report
Rainfall Forecast Report

Provides a high-resolution outlook on where and how much rain is expected to fall, helping anticipate flooding risks.

Situational Awareness Report
Storm Surge Forecast Report (Atlantic Ocean only)

Offers a detailed forecast of coastal flooding, so you can assess threats to ports, coastal facilities, and low-lying areas.

These reports are automatically updated as new advisories are issued—ensuring you always have the latest intelligence at your fingertips.

Severity Ratings That Help You Prioritize Response

DisasterAWARE Enterprise uses a clear and consistent severity scale to classify tropical storm hazards, so you know which events demand immediate attention. Our severity levels are based on how soon landfall is expected and whether populated areas may be affected—using data from authoritative forecasts and our proprietary analysis tools.

Here’s how we define the threat level:

exclamation mark icon

Warning

Landfall is expected within 36 hours and people may be affected. This is the most urgent classification.

exclamation mark icon

Information

The storm is being monitored, but no landfall is expected in the next 5 days.

exclamation mark icon

Watch

Landfall is projected within 48 hours, with potential impact to populations.

exclamation mark icon

Advisory

Landfall may occur within 5 days, and populations could be at risk.

These severity levels help your teams quickly assess risk and take appropriate action—whether it’s initiating response plans, alerting personnel, or monitoring conditions as they evolve.

Targeted Alerts and Impact Assessments You Can Trust

DisasterAWARE Enterprise ensures your organization receives precise, relevant alerts and impact estimates based on the latest tropical storm forecasts—no noise, no guesswork.

SmartAlert™ Notification Areas

Our SmartAlert system automatically identifies which users should be notified based on a storm’s projected path. Alerts are sent after each new advisory and can be delivered via email, SMS, or push notification.

The alerting area is determined using the Cone of Uncertainty from trusted forecast agencies:

  • National Hurricane Center (NHC), Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC), and Eastern Pacific: 5-day cone
  • Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC): Forecast area of potential gale-force winds
  • If no cone is provided, we generate one using our PDC proprietary forecast model

Exposure Areas and Damage Potential

Beyond just alerting you to a storm’s presence, DisasterAWARE calculates who and what is likely to be impacted using high-resolution wind impact forecasts. We classify exposure into distinct severity levels:

  • Widespread Damage and Above – Significant, widespread impacts likely (Level 7+)
  • Moderate Damage – Up to 5% of asset value may be at risk (Level 6)
  • Minor Damage – Localized disruption likely, including power outages
    (Level 5)

These tools help you proactively protect your people, facilities, and operations—well before the storm arrives.

Deeper Insight with Storm Forecast and Impact Layers

DisasterAWARE Enterprise goes beyond alerts and reports by giving users direct access to a rich set of interactive data layers—helping organizations assess storm behavior, intensity, and areas at risk. These layers support global coverage across all ocean basins and provide key insights throughout the storm lifecycle.

Track the storm’s position, intensity, and projected path with:

  • circle check icon
    Positions and Segments – Displays the official forecast track and key advisory points.
  • circle check icon
    Wind Radii – Visualizes current and forecasted wind strength by zone.
  • circle check icon
    Forecast Uncertainty (3-Day and 5-Day) – Highlights potential deviations in the projected track.
  • circle check icon
    SmartAlerts – Cyclone – Identifies areas where alert notifications are triggered.

Understand where storms may develop with:

  • circle check icon
    Tropical Cyclone Formation Probability – Forecasts the likelihood of storm formation.
  • circle check icon
    Tropical Weather Outlooks – Includes both 2-day and 7-day forecasts from authoritative agencies.

Gauge environmental conditions that influence storm strength with:

  • circle check icon
    Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential – Indicates ocean heat energy available to fuel intensification.

Estimate the storm’s physical impacts using scientifically backed models:

  • circle check icon
    Estimated Wind Impacts
  • circle check icon
    Estimated Rainfall
  • circle check icon
    Estimated Still Water Storm Surge

These layers help you assess exposure to wind damage, inland flooding, and coastal inundation—all in one place.

For storms affecting the U.S., additional detail is available:

  • circle check icon
    Doppler Radar (USA)
  • circle check icon
    Coastline Watch-Warnings
  • circle check icon

Asset Protection and Exposure Reporting - it’s ok to reuse the section from Wildfires

Asset Protection
And Exposure Reporting

DisasterAWARE includes powerful Asset Protection tools that help organizations monitor how hazards—such as wildfires—affect the people, places, and infrastructure they care about most.

Users can define asset classes by either:

  • Connecting to an ArcGIS map service as the source of their asset data, or
  • Connecting to an ArcGIS map service as the source of their asset data, or

Each asset class can be customized with:

  • Synchronization settings to control how often data is refreshed from the ArcGIS source
  • Notification buffers that define how close a hazard must be to trigger an alert
  • Custom fields for enhanced reporting and targeted notifications

Once loaded, assets can be viewed in two ways: through the Notification Panel, or by enabling their associated map service layer under the User folder in the Layers Panel.Assets can be user-owned or shared at the organization level. Organizations with multiple teams can also set up Sub-Organizations, each with their own asset classes and notification rules—providing flexibility in how asset data is managed and accessed across departments.

For each asset class, users can define non-user contacts—such as building managers or emergency coordinators—who should receive notifications when a hazard threatens specific locations. These contacts receive email alerts with detailed hazard information, ensuring they stay informed even if they don’t actively use the platform.

DisasterAWARE also generates Asset Exposure Reports, which summarize:

  • The number and types of assets affected by a hazard
  • Additional impact metrics defined by the user, such as the number of employees at risk, total replacement value, or other key indicators

These features help organizations stay ahead of emerging threats, understand the geographic relationship between hazards and their assets, and quantify their total exposure—supporting faster, more informed decisions during critical moments.
