Our Shared Foundation
A Partnership Connecting Science, Technology & Real-World Experience.
Pacific Disaster Center is an applied science and research center of the University of Hawaiʻi, advancing disaster risk reduction and resilience through scientific research, advanced analytics, and innovative technology.
Its work spans natural disasters, severe weather, man-made threats, and their associated impacts, supporting decision-makers before, during, and after major events.
DisasterAWARE is a cornerstone of this work—a global, multi-hazard intelligence and decision-support technology developed to help organizations anticipate threats, monitor unfolding disasters, and better understand their potential consequences.
DisasterAWARE Enterprise was established to bring these capabilities to the commercial market.
Our organizations continue to collaborate in developing and refining DisasterAWARE technology, combining PDC's scientific expertise and operational experience with DisasterAWARE Enterprise's focus on commercial data delivery, integration, and partner innovation.
Together, we help make authoritative disaster intelligence more accessible and useful across public, humanitarian, and commercial applications.
Government, Military & Humanitarian Operations
Intelligence Trusted When It Matters Most.
Supporting preparedness, situational awareness, disaster response, and recovery worldwide.
For decades, PDC and DisasterAWARE technology have supported government agencies, military organizations, emergency management authorities, and humanitarian relief partners around the world.
These capabilities help decision-makers monitor emerging hazards, understand geographic exposure, evaluate potential impacts, and prioritize actions during rapidly evolving emergencies.
Government & Emergency Management
National and regional disaster management authorities use DisasterAWARE technology to strengthen early warning, preparedness, situational awareness, and response coordination.
PDC has also worked with international partners to develop tailored disaster intelligence capabilities that support local and regional decision-making.
U.S. Military & Defense Operations
PDC has a longstanding relationship with the U.S. Department of Defense and is managed by the University of Hawaiʻi under DoD cooperative agreements.
DisasterAWARE technology underpins specialized defense applications, including RAPIDS, supporting readiness, disaster response and situational awareness across the U.S. government.
PDC's work also supports the broader defense community's ability to evaluate hazards, assess risks, and inform operational decisions.
Humanitarian Assistance & Disaster Relief
DisasterAWARE technology supports humanitarian practitioners working to protect vulnerable populations, assess disaster consequences, and coordinate response efforts.
Through PDC's relationships with governmental and nongovernmental organizations, these capabilities contribute to disaster preparedness, emergency response, and recovery activities across the world.
Experience That Informs Innovation
Supporting disaster operations in complex environments creates an important foundation for continued technological innovation.
This operational experience helps inform the evolution of DisasterAWARE intelligence, including event monitoring, geographic analysis, exposure assessment, and impact information.
From Public-service Innovation To Commercial Intelligence
Bringing Proven Disaster Intelligence to the Commercial World.
The same fundamental challenges faced by disaster managers also affect commercial organizations.
Insurers need to understand catastrophe exposure and potential losses. Supply chain platforms need to identify disruptions. Security operations centers need reliable situational awareness. Technology providers need structured, authoritative information to power their products.
DisasterAWARE Enterprise helps bridge these needs.
Our role is to extend the DisasterAWARE technology foundation into commercial applications, enabling organizations to incorporate disaster, severe weather, man-made threat, and impact intelligence into their existing products and workflows.
Rather than requiring every company to independently collect and maintain information from hundreds of sources, we provide enriched intelligence through flexible delivery methods.
Real-Time Intelligence
APIs and supported webhooks provide access to evolving disaster events, geographic footprints, severity, and available impact information.
Historical Catastrophe Intelligence
Enriched historical datasets support catastrophe modeling, research, analytics, and the investigation of past events and consequences.
Geospatial Intelligence
Geographic information helps organizations understand hazards, vulnerabilities, and potential exposure across locations and regions.
AI & Advanced Analytics
MCP servers and structured data interfaces make supported disaster intelligence accessible to compatible AI applications, analytical models, and intelligent workflows.
Enterprise Monitoring
The DisasterAWARE Enterprise Platform enables organizations to monitor important locations, explore geographic intelligence, and assess potential exposure.
By connecting PDC's scientific and operational foundation with commercial technology integration, we help partners deliver more comprehensive risk and impact intelligence to their customers.
A Shared Commitment To Impact Intelligence
Understanding What Happened. What Is at Risk. And What Comes Next.
A disaster's significance cannot be measured by its magnitude or geographic footprint alone.
The consequences matter.
A hurricane may affect communities, buildings, infrastructure, and transportation networks. A wildfire may cause displacement, property damage, and prolonged operational disruption. A major earthquake may generate cascading impacts across critical services and supply chains.
DisasterAWARE's approach brings together information about hazardous events with available geographic, exposure, vulnerability, and impact intelligence to provide a more complete picture of their consequences.
This includes available information about affected populations, reported casualties, displacement, infrastructure damage, and other measurable impacts.
Building on this foundation, DisasterAWARE Enterprise aims to expand the connections between real-time events, historical catastrophes, and their downstream physical, human, operational, and economic consequences.
Our long-term ambition is to make this connected intelligence increasingly useful for advanced analytics and AI-powered systems that help organizations understand what matters most and identify informed next steps.
This shared emphasis on meaningful, actionable intelligence connects the public-service mission behind DisasterAWARE technology with its growing commercial applications.
