DisasterAWARE

Monitor Tropical Storms—Anywhere, Anytime

Tropical storms contributed $1.4 trillion in damage for the past 50 years, and their impact continues to grow. As populations and infrastructure grow in challenging coastal zones, the need for real-time, global monitoring has never been more urgent.

DisasterAWARE Enterprise empowers you to track storm development from any basin worldwide. Get timely, verified insights so your teams can make critical decisions earlier—no matter where the storm strikes.

Actionable Reports That Go Beyond the Forecast

Every new tropical storm advisory auto-generates four detailed reports you can act on immediately. These include exposure estimates, track forecasts, rainfall, and storm surge predictions—all tailored to your region.

As conditions change, these reports update in real time, ensuring you're never working from outdated data during high-impact weather events.

Severity Levels that Drive Response

We simplify complex data with five storm severity levels—Warning, Watch, Advisory, Information, and Termination—each tied to expected landfall timing and potential impact.

Here’s how we define the threat level:

Warning – Landfall is expected within 36 hours and people may be affected. This is the most urgent classification.
Watch – Landfall is projected within 48 hours, with potential impact to populations.
Advisory – Landfall may occur within 5 days, and populations could be at risk.
Information – The storm is being monitored, but no landfall is expected in the next 5 days.
Termination – The storm no longer poses a threat and monitoring has ended.

These levels help prioritize your response and resource allocation, so you're prepared well before the storm hits.

Targeted Alerts + Exposure Estimates

SmartAlert™ filters out the noise by only notifying you when your operations are directly affected. That means no more alert fatigue—just precise, timely notifications that matter.

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.

Interactive Forecast + Impact Layers

Visualize every detail with interactive map layers—showing storm tracks, forecast cones, wind fields, and more. You can also view formation probabilities and ocean energy levels that signal potential storm strengthening.

For U.S.-based operations, enhanced data like Doppler radar and hurricane watches offer even more localized awareness.
